Otopeni International Airport Bucarest (Romania)

Romania’s entry into the Schengen area changes radically the nature of the passengers’ flows. This change impacts greatly on the Otopeni Airport, structured in 3 Terminals (Departure Terminal, Arrival Terminal and Finger). The whole system of 3 Buildings is also extended to accommodate passenger traffic of 6 million passengers / year in service category B (IATA classification). This involves the tripling of the Finger (from 8.000 m2 to 25.000 m2), the doubling the Departure Terminal (from 19.500 m2 to 39.000 m2) and the restructuring of the Arrivals Terminal, to extend the baggage arrival areas into the areas left free because of the restructuring of the entire system.
