“It was a very good choice. At this moment, the number of passengers on the airport of Tulcea is rising. We must have a 65% load factor to become profitable. Tickets to Tulcea have a price of EUR49, all taxes included,” said Butu.

Starting this month, the company operates regular flights on internal and external destinations.

Asked by ZF why he chose the airport of Tulcea, Butu said “it matched our operating criteria”.

The company’s boss says another two airports of Romania, namely Sibiu and Timisoara, are being mulled for introduction of regular flights. “We want to reach EUR15 million in receipts from sales of tickets on all routes, meaning from 50,000 passengers up”.
