Government of Romania - Press office - 13.10.2007

This afternoon, Prime Minister Calin Popescu - Tariceanu has met with the Iasi county's local authorities and heads of decontrated services whom he requested to mobilise in order to accelerate the measures necessary to access the European funds, and avoid the danger of missing them.

The Head of the Government has solicited the full rally of the representatives of the local leadership of the Agency for Payments and Interventions in Agriculture for all current delays to be covered within the one month deadline specified by the European Commission.

„We still have a month of efforts in which I request you not to spare any Saturday or Sunday since exceptional measures are needed in exceptional situations ”, Prime Minister Calin Popescu-Tariceanu has stated, mentioning that he will not hesitate to apply sanctions if this is necessary.
Prime Minister has also drawn the attention on the fact that the responsibility in this field falls both to APIA and local authorities of each county.

The Head of the Government has voiced his availability to support the local authorities' efforts and has urged them to get involved and oversee the solving of substance problems, while putting aside the sterile political rows which lead to useless waste of energies.

„I want to be informed about the problems you encounter. If you encounter problems and you exhaust all your action possibilities, you may appeal to me ”, Prime Minister has added. He reckons that Iasi County has a real potential which should be capitalized in order to turn this county and the entire Moldova into an attractive area for investors.

Under these circumstances, the Head of the Government has especially mentioned the projects of infrastructure development and modernisation in the transportation, health, education and research fields.

Among these, the Head of the Executive has appreciated as essential, the development and modernisation of Iasi Airport, Pan European IX Corridor, which will cross Moldova from north to south and connect the economy of the Moldova counties and Romania to the south and north of Europe, through a road section linked with Brasov-Oradea Motorway.

On the very Saturday, Prime Minister has visited a plant from Iasi industrial platform, whose main activity is PET recycling and has appreciated this investment for its beneficial influence on environment protection and job creation.

Conferinta de presa a inceput cu un moment festiv. Noul prefect Marius Bodea a primit flori si imbratisari din partea presedintelui Consiliului Judetean Lucian Flaiser.

"Am finalizat toate aspectele legate de schimburile de teren de terenurile necesare pentru extinderea Aeroportului. Care sa stea la baza unei viitoare ordonante de urgenta, care apoi in Parlament sa fie transformata in lege. Astazi putem sa va informam ca documentatiile au fost transmise Guvernului.", a declarat Lucian Flaiser, presedintele Consiliului Judetean.

"Pot spune ca a fost o munca sustinuta de aproximativ doua luni si jumatate. Impreuna cu conducerea Consiliul Judetean si cu conducerea Aeroportului Iasi. M-am implicat personal in acest proiect pentru ca sigura ca toata lumea consider ca nu trebuie sa justificam in nici un fel moderinizarea Aeroportului este lesne de inteles, cum va creste atractivitatea judetului nostru cu Aeroport International care sa permita aterizari ale a unor nave mai mari.", a declarat prefectul Marius Bodea.

Saptamana viitoare prefectul interimar Marius Bodea va pleca la Bucuresti la toate ministerele de la care trebuie obtinute avize pentru demararea cat mai rapida a lucrarilor la noua pista de la Aeroportul Iasi.

Some news about Cluj airport..

"Aeroportul din Cluj se modernizeaza"

Potrivit statisticilor intocmite de Aeroportul International Cluj-Napoca, inainte de anul 2014 din acest loc vor cobori si se vor sui in avion un milion de pasageri anual, astfel ca autoritatile clujene au decis un plan de modernizare a acestuia, care a inceput de curand cu ridicarea unui nou terminal de pasageri.

Noul terminal va avea o suprafata construita de 3800 de metri patrati si una utila de 10.000 de metri patrati si va costa 13.300.000 euro.
"In materie de infrastructura aeroportul, autostrada, centurile ocolitoare, inelele de circulatie ale Clujului, reprezinta prioritati fara de care acest municipiu nu poate aspira sa devina un oras european si un oras prosper.

Aeroportul reprezinta poarta de intrare in acest oras european, o poarta pentru investitori, iar noul terminal va face racordarea Clujului la Europa", a spus primarul Emil Boc, marti, la inaugurarea lucrarilor.

Noua structura va avea o capacitate de prelucrare de 700.000-800.000 de pasageri pe an, care vor sosi in Cluj, planurile de modenrizare urmand sa continue, peste noua luni, cat dureaza construirea terminalului, cu un altul, mai mare, pentru plecari.

Conducerea aeroportului a declarat ca in anul 2006 fluxul de pasageri a fost de 244.366, iar in acest an va creste cu 35 la suta, urmand ca in anul 2010 numarul total de persoane care vor decola si ateriza la Cluj sa fie de 550.000.

De asemenea, Consiliul Judetean Cluj intentioneaza sa continue modernizarea aeroportului si cu construirea unei noi piste, de 3500 de metri, astfel incat acesta sa isi asigure locul in reteaua de infrastructura europeana.

"Vom continua cu construirea unui terminal de plecari, care va avea o suprafata si mai mare, precum si cu un proiect ambitios - o noua pista, de 3500 de metri, care va asigura dezvoltarea aeroportului pentru urmatorii 50 de ani", a spus directorul aeroportului clujean, David Ciceo.

Some news about Bucharest new airport..

South Bucharest muted for third airport

Minister of Transport Ludovic Orban has said the Capital’s local authorities will decide the location of a new airport in south Bucharest. The proposed areas include Popesti Leordeni, 1 Decembrie and Adunatii Copaceni. The Minister said the construction of the airport should be finished in two years after works start. Traffic in Baneasa Airport Aurel Vlaicu will be restricted due to the real estate boom in north Bucharest and environment regulations. This means there is a massive need for a new international airport. Baneasa Airport will remain open for small planes, helicopters, private and business jets.

Romanian PM wants to close airport and move its low-cost flights to Bucharest's main one
19 September 2008

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) - Romanian Prime Minister Calin Popescu Tariceanu has proposed closing Bucharest's No. 2 commercial airport and moving all its flights to the capital's main one.

Tariceanu said Thursday that the change would end noise and street traffic problems around Baneasa airport, which is located in Bucharest, near where the bulk of the capital's business and residential development has occurred in recent years.

He told reporters that Henri Coanda airport, about 20 kilometers (13 miles) north of the city center, could easily handle all Baneasa's flights, including its many low-cost ones. He asked Transportation Minister Ludovic Orban to facilitate the move, but did not indicate when it could happen.

Tariceanu said Baneasa could be used by Romaero S.A., a company that maintains and repairs civil and military transport aircraft.

Currently, dozens of budget flights use the Baneasa Airport every day, benefiting from its closeness to downtown Bucharest.

The budget carrier Wizz Air, which has daily flights to European cities from Baneasa, said it would not comment on the prime minister's proposal until it had been officially notified about it.

Tariceanu said the noise of takeoffs and landings is disturbing residents who live near Baneasa -- which has limited parking facilities -- and that the airport's customers are causing traffic jams on the area's roads.

"I believe that due to the urban development of Bucharest, an airport can't survive in the middle of town. This is a natural consequence of the city's development," the prime minister said.

Bucharest is a fast-growing city, and the country's economic growth is expected to be about 8 percent this year. Some 2 million Romanians work in Western Europe, and they often use low-cost carriers to fly to and from their home country.

Also, Blue Air (largest Romanian private carrier) plans to invest EUR 200 million in a new airport in S Bucharest:

Nelu Iordache wants to build first private airport with 200m euros in Adunatii Copaceni

24.02.2010

Nelu Iordache, 43, one of the most discreet businessmen on the Romanian market, owner of Blue Air, Romstrade, and La Mosie, which are part of a half a billion-euro group, has given his first press interview to ZF, making official statements on his investment plans for the next few years, after he had avoided meetings with the press for years.

"I've been keen on building businesses from scratch. I have not invested in real estate because I never liked speculations. For the fruit farm La Mosie in Adunatii Copaceni I did not take out any loans to make the 7 million-euro investment, and for the concession of the Bacau airport, I allocated 29 million euros from my own funds," says Iordache, who adds that profits have been constantly reinvested, and that he "does not have a lot of money in his accounts." Having reached a 500 million-euro turnover, he is preparing for his biggest investment. Next year he will start construction of the first private low-cost airport in Adunatii Copaceni on a 200-hectare area, with the investment to amount to 150-200 million euros.

Nelu Iordache's plans also include developing his business in Iraq, and becoming a rival for CFR Calatori, the passenger service of the state-held railway carrier. For this prospective expansion, Iordache considers getting funding from banks, stock exchange listing, and bond issuing. For the time being he rules out selling a share of his business.
