  Bucharest Constantin Brâncuși Airport/Bucharest South Airport (Romanian: Aeroportul Constantin Brâncuși/Aeroportul București Sud) is a proposed new facility to support the existing Otopeni Airport. In June 2018 Romania's Government adopted a strategic investment package including a proposal for construction of Bucharest Constantin Brancusi Airport/Bucharest South Airport.
  
  The airport is named after Romanian artist Constantin Brâncuși, a famous Romanian sculptor, painter and photographer who made his career in France. The new airport is planned to be constructed on an area of up to 600 hectares (1,500 acres), equipped with at least two terminals and have a capacity of around 30 million passengers p/a, supporting Bucharest Otopeni Airport as an alternative international airport both in terms of passenger and freight operations. Airport ground access will be provided through the new Bucharest-Alexandria-Craiova highway and new Bragadiru-Unirii Square subway station projects. The investment package is to be prepared and awarded under a public-private partnership by the National Commission for Strategy and Forecasting.
