During 2022, the air traffic on Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport and Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport recorded 12.610.247 passengers (a 82.2% raise as compared to 2021) and 120.745 aircraft movements (landings and take offs), a 30,7% raise as compared to the previous year).

The overall number of passengers in 2022 is thus approaching the peak we had in 2019 (14.8 million passengers), representing over 85% of it. As for the number of aircraft movements, it represents approx. 83% of the record value of 145,002 registered in 2019.
