Bucharest Băneasa: the departures board
In 2012, on the 11 routes reported to Eurostat, 284,097 passengers travelled between Bucharest's Băneasa airport and the rest of the world. The top destination was Luton, with 15.2% of the traffic, followed by Bergamo and Rome Ciampino. By country, Italy took 49.3% of passengers. Luton was first in the last 3 years with data. Eurostat has routes reported for this airport only from 2006. After 2012, Eurostat has no routes reported from here. In 2012 the low-cost flights moved from Băneasa to Otopeni, so 2012 covers only part of the year. Wizz Air returned to Băneasa in January 2025, and the Romanian Airports Association counted 694,718 passengers there in 2025.
