Until 2001 a Romanian Air Force military helicopter unit was based on this airfield. Former Minister of Transport Radu Berceanu suggested the location for Bucharest's new low-cost flights airport (as the operational tariffs for Bucharest's previous low-cost hub, Aurel Vlaicu Airport, were set to grow).[1] However, some analysts considered the project unrealistic and doomed to fail due to the poor conditions of the infrastructure in the area.[2]
As of April 2013 those plans have been abandoned and all Bucharest's low-cost flights were moved at Henri Coandă International Airport in March 2012.
