Brașov International Airport surpassed Sibiu Airport in passenger numbers during the summer season for the first time, processing 192,058 passengers compared to Sibiu's 160,379. Despite Sibiu maintaining a slight lead in the first nine months of 2026, the growth rate of Brașov puts pressure on Sibiu's operations. Sibiu anticipates a challenging year due to reduced operations from Wizz Air and Lufthansa. Financially, Sibiu operates with a significantly larger budget, while Brașov relies heavily on public subsidies. In terms of destinations, Brașov offers 15 routes compared to Sibiu's 8, with both airports providing charter flights during the summer.
