Oradea airport plays an important role in the regional and international connectivity of the country, it 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 Oradea airport.
The aid will be allocated following an evaluation of the number of destinations, frequency of flights and the estimated number of passenger generation in the first year following receipt of the aid. 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 31 December 2020.
