Brașov-Ghimbav International Airport

Brașov-Ghimbav International Airport, coded GHV, ranks among the newest airports in Europe, having opened to commercial traffic in 2023 after years of planning and construction near the town of Ghimbav. The facility gives Transylvania its first dedicated commercial airport, ending decades of reliance on more distant airports in Bucharest, Sibiu, or Cluj-Napoca. GHV sits within easy reach of Bran Castle, popularly marketed to tourists as the home of the Dracula legend, as well as ski resorts scattered through the Carpathian range. The airport's compact single runway and terminal reflect its status as a young, still-developing facility rather than an established hub, though route networks have expanded steadily since opening to include several Western European destinations. Local officials have promoted GHV heavily as a driver of tourism growth for central Romania's Transylvania region.
