Mr. Căncescu regrets the delays, which he states were caused by some members of PDL party members from Braşov and the government who opposed this project with the utmost power.
Representatives of "Intelcan", the canadian company who will be in charge of building the airport, are supposed to come to Braşov next week to set up the last technical and organizational details.]]> General http://www.airportbrasov.ro/en/index.php?itemid=19 Sun, 6 Sep 2009 00:03:53 +1100 http://www.airportbrasov.ro/en/index.php?itemid=18 This information was published by the president of Braşov County Council, Aristotel Căncescu. He said that, despite of all the obstacles which were tried to be set up by all means by some local and central political leaders of PDL party, to prevent the project initiated by the county council, the airport will be ready in march 2011. "Representatives of the canadian company Intelcan, which will build this airport, announced that works will be finished not after 30 months, date which was stated as an orientation for such a work, but in 18 months. This means that works which will start in september, will be ready in 2011, in spring." said Căncescu.

The consortium of London based banks approved to finance the construction of the International Airport Braşov – Ghimbav with 87 million euros. The part of cofinancing from Braşov County Council is 14 million euros and the money will be obtained through a bank credit, probably from BCR (Romanian Bank of Commerce), stated Căncescu.

The value of the airports project will be little more than 100 million euros.
The airport from Braşov county will be bigger than those from Constanţa and Timişoara and will be built by canadian company Intelcan. The expanse of the airport will be 270 hectare, while the terminal will fill 10.000 sqm. and the runway will be 2.600 m long.

The airport is estimated to have a capacity of 400 passengers per hour and 2 million per year, as well as a capacity of 6.000 tons of freight per hour.]]> General http://www.airportbrasov.ro/en/index.php?itemid=18 Sat, 5 Sep 2009 23:44:01 +1100 http://www.airportbrasov.ro/en/index.php?itemid=17

     Ioan Oltean MP (PD-L), who chaired the session, maintained the decision passed on Tuesday by Roberta Anastase MP, Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, to have the relevant committee re-examine the bill and make a new report, as per the provisions of Art. 109 of the Chamber of Deputies Regulations. MPs representing other parties regarded this move as an abuse and left the session in protest. Under these circumstances, the vote was postponed for next week as quorum was not possible with only 107 MPs.     Brasov County Council Vice Chairman Attila Kovacs commented that this ending had been predictable since Tuesday as "The Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies wanted to send the Ordinance back to the Agriculture Committee, without the MPs" consent, so the proposal was considered abusive. That is why the MPs of UDMR, PNL and PSD said they would leave the session," Kovacs said. He hopes that the bill would carry next week "unless we have more of these unhappy accidents, as we did on Tuesday."

     "The debate did not touch the fundaments of the bill, as it focused only on procedure. Discussions degenerated as the session was poorly chaired, people were ill-willed and the Government"s representatives made a poor presentation of the bill. Minister Radu Berceanu touched some sensitive points, so it was not possible to discuss the actual articles of the bill," said Mihai Dontu MP (PNL).

     PSD MPs appeared particularly upset with the tone of voice used by Transportation Minister Radu Berceanu, who suggested that the bill should be discarded because there was no need for an airport in Brasov. The bill was issued under the Tariceanu Government and regulates the transfer of a plot of land from the National Research - Development Institute for Potatoes and Sugar Beet - Brasov to Brasov County in order to build the Brasov - Ghimbav International Airport.

     Transportation Minister Radu Berceanu told a Chamber of Deputies session that the incumbent Boc Government was against the ordinance. "Parliament does not take orders and cannot be admonished like a child," said Aura Vasile MP (PSD), obviously irritated with Berceanu"s request that the Parliament should turn down the Ordinance.

     PD-L"s stand was also opposed by PSD and Constantin Nita, Minister for Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprises, who advocated the ordinance saying it had already been approved by the minister for Agriculture. "There are abnormal things in the ordinance; it is illegal," replied Valeriu Tabara MP (PD-L).

Canadian company Intelcan, winner of the auction for the airport construction, succeeded with the financing for the whole project, a few banks showing big interest to grant the necessary funds, rising to about 100 million Euros. "Mr. Căncescu (president of Braşov County Council) announced already the beginning of construction on the 15th of April. It is really pleasant that from this moment works won't stop", declared Iancu Vespasian. At the moment there is only a part of the ground changes with some owners in the area to be solved.

The president of the investitions monitoring commission, county counseller Iancu Vespasian has visited Ghimbav a few days ago, for discussing with the owners of some properties, which are situated close to the future investition. Vespasian proposed to the people of Ghimbav a change of ground in the area of the accessway to the airport. Some of the owners asked for an integral change of their properties situated in the area or to be recompensed in money, request which has been refused. In the opinion of Ghimbav local counseller Ion Spinean, "the change is advantageous, both areas having the same classification and the same market value". Spinean recommended the people of Ghimbav not to sell their properties, because they don't have anything to lose. The most favoured by the property exchange will be the shepherd which has a house and a sheep farm on the ground, affected by the airport, the shepherd going to get not only another ground, but also money compensation for the building, as he is asking for 300.000 Euro.]]> General http://www.airportbrasov.ro/en/index.php?itemid=11 Thu, 13 Mar 2008 01:23:38 +1000 http://www.airportbrasov.ro/en/index.php?itemid=10 - the transformation of "AIBG" corporation to a project company

This year (2007), the project of Braşov - Ghimbav International Airport made three crucial steps towards its realization. The demarches
from County Council president Aristotel Căncescu and the comission, designated to implement this project, have shown results.
Never has this project been this far, although talks about building an airport in Braşov began 18 years ago
The big success of the project has been the registration of 200 hectares of ground by the County Council in Ghimbav, where the airport will be built. This ground was transferred from the property of the Country Domains Agency to that of Braşov county. The second major event has been the visit at Braşov of some prestigious international banks representatives, who wanted to be informed abou the actual, real situation of the project and to what extent the initiators are able of finalizing it. Depending on the impressions they had during their stay in Braşov, they expressed credit offers for the airport construction. And also this year, the auction for the projection, construction and operation of the future airport has found the canadian company Intelcan as the winner.
According to the estimations, the direct investition will be about 80 million euro, and the indirect one, including all costs, comes close to 98 million euro. The invested money will amortize in eight years, with a grace period of six months from the operational start of the airport. ]]> General http://www.airportbrasov.ro/en/index.php?itemid=9 Sun, 6 Jan 2008 17:42:00 +1000 http://www.airportbrasov.ro/en/index.php?itemid=8 It would have been much easyer if the airport would have been a private project, that is to say we would have bought the ground and came with money for the investition.But we were late 9 months for signing the necessary documents for receiving the land or for other agreements. We forwarded letters to 46 financial groups and the majority of the answers contained over 40 conditions for receiving the funding, one of the most important of them being that the premises should be the property of the society which is going to operate the airport", says Weissberger.

The president of Braşov County Council, Aristotel Căncescu, said that "in the last three months we really made a progress - now we do have the land, the funding, which will come next week, and also a head of the project, who recently finalized the project of modernisation and extension of Ottawa International Airport". He also stated that the airport project is late, especially as the start for the realisation of an airport in the occident and the effective works take between five and ten years. Under these conditions, Căncescu notes that the first construction works for the airport realisation might already start this year, "even if we only fence in the lot".]]> General http://www.airportbrasov.ro/en/index.php?itemid=8 Fri, 16 Nov 2007 00:40:06 +1000
