May 8, 2012 (newstodate): The Romanian investment company Infra Group has contracted the support from Lufthansa Consulting for establishing Bucharest South International, the country's first privately-owned airport at Adunatii Copaceni, south of Bucharest.
Lufthansa Consulting will provide strategic assistance on issues including preparation of a feasibility study and a business plan for Bucharest South.
The aviation consultants will also assist in finding investors for the new airport.
Bucharest South International will handle two million passengers in its first year, increasing to four million over the next ten years.
Estimates are that once all pertinent permits are landed, the project may be completed within the framework of 18 months and designed to serve type C aircraft including Airbus A320 Family and Boeing 737NG aircraft.
The new airport will focus on low-cost operations, air cargo customers, and will also become the home base of Blue Air, the country's biggest low-cost airline, also owned by the Infra Group, and currently based at Bucharest Baneasa Airport.
