District 4 City Hall plans new airport south of Bucharest
<p>District 4 of Bucharest will set up a company together with the neighbouring Giurgiu county local authorities to develop a new airport under an investment estimated at EUR 2 billion, announced district’s mayor Daniel Baluta - expected to hold his seat after the local elections this June.</p>

<p>The results of the pre-feasibility study will be published in August.</p>

<p>The Bucharest South Airport should be sized in such a way so as to serve over 11 million passengers and&nbsp;handle at least 30,000 tonnes of goods, according to a preliminary study recently completed by a consortium of experts formed by Concrete &amp; Design Solutions and Urban Scope, coordinated by representatives of the SETEC of France.</p>

<p>Two locations are considered for the construction of Bucharest Sud Airport, namely Grădiștea and Adunații Copăceni, <a href="https://www.economica.net/aeroport-bucuresti-sud_747439.html?mc_cid=3a182b1beb&amp;mc_eid=cd1f92f96c" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Economica.net</a> reported. Following the completion of pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, the exact location will be decided.</p>

<p>Mayor Baluta said that the project could be developed as a public investment with financing from the state budget, possibly with the participation of the Bucharest National Airport Company (CNAB), or as a public-private partnership project with a private partner.</p>
