Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport
Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport (IATA: BBU, ICAO: LRBS) — generally known as Băneasa Airport or Bucharest City Airport — is located in Băneasa district, Bucharest, Romania, 8.5 km (5.3 mi) north of the city center. Named after Aurel Vlaicu, a Romanian engineer, inventor, aeroplane constructor, and early pilot, it was Bucharest's only commercial airport until 1969, when the Otopeni Airport (today Henri Coandă International Airport) was opened to civilian use. Until March 2012, when it was converted into a business airport, Aurel Vlaicu International was the second airport in Romania in terms of air traffic, and Bucharest's low-cost airline hub. Since 2025, the airport has once again resumed regular low-cost services, with a new terminal planned for construction by 2035.
