The tax will not apply to transit passengers or children under 2 years old.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, airlines that contribute significantly to the airport&#8217;s passenger traffic can benefit from discounts of up to 50% in fees, if they bring over 500,000 passengers per year. Lower reductions are also offered if companies pass a 250,000 passenger threshold.<\/p>\n<p>These discounts will apply to airlines like Wizz Air and possibly HiSky and TAROM. Other airlines do not exceed the 250,000-passenger threshold.<\/p>\n<p>To encourage air traffic growth, airlines that succeed in bringing an additional 300,000 passengers per year compared to the previous year&#8217;s traffic will receive an additional 30% discount on the development fee. This discount only applies to the additional number of passengers; however, additional conditions can be applied simultaneously with financial incentives for airlines that open new destinations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, Cluj-Napoca Airport recorded a traffic volume of 3.2 million passengers, 23% higher than in 2022.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"mailto:radu@romania-insider.com\">radu@romania-insider.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>(Photo source:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamstime.com\/wirestock_info\">Wirestock<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamstime.com\/stock-photos\">Dreamstime.com<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u201cAvram Iancu\u201d airport in Cluj-Napoca, Romania\u2019s second busiest airport, recently started imposing an EUR 5 tax for each departing passenger.\u00a0This measure is intended to financially support the airport&#8217;s investments and development projects, as part of its long-term strategy, according to the airport&#8217;s statement quoted by Boardingpass.ro.
