Located in central Romania, the Sibiu Airport plays an important role in the regional and international connectivity of the country, the Commission said.
The Commission said the scheme was approved under the State Aid Temporary Framework that provides aid in the form of direct grants and will be accessible in a transparent manner to all interested airlines starting or resuming operations at Sibiu Airport.
The objective of the measure is to support the activity of those air operators, and support the economic recovery and structural viability of the region in the context of the coronavirus outbreak.
The aid will not exceed EUR800.000 per company and will be granted before June 30 2021.
