In addition to Romanian, signs in English, German and Hungarian were displayed at the new Brasov airport, where the first scheduled flight from Bucharest landed on Thursday morning. The gesture can be evaluated as respecting the Hungarianness of Székelyföld and Barcaság for the guests arriving and disembarking here, at a time when a legal melee has to be fought recently for Hungarian inscriptions.
On Thursday morning, the first plane landed at the airport built in Vidombák near Brasó, among the passengers of which were the mayor of Sepsiszentgyörgy Antal Árpád and Sándor Tamás, the president of the Kovászna county municipality. Tarom's plane, which took off from Otopeni airport, was piloted by Cătălin Prunariu, the former director of the state airline, Dumitru Prunariu, the son of the first and until now only Romanian astronaut.
Árpád Antal himself reported on the existence of the Hungarian inscriptions on his Facebook page, adding: "we are in the right place, we are at home!"
The first scheduled flight left the new airport at 12:50 p.m. The Dan Air plane will take off with destination Stuttgart. With the airline's flights, it will also be possible to get off from Vidombák airport to Brussels, Nuremberg, London and Barcelona.
Wizz Air currently operates flights to London and Dortmund. Charter flights to half of the destinations in Greece and Turkey also start this week. Although the airline DanAir previously advertised flights to Budapest, it removed this from its offer, but we know that the management of the Brasov airport is negotiating to start regular flights to half of the Hungarian capital, with smaller planes.
In the last 50 years, in Romania, Brasov is the first airport built from scratch.
