Sibiu International Airport
Sibiu International Airport shares its grounds with a Romanian air force base and serves Sibiu, a walled Saxon city in Transylvania whose fortified churches, guild towers, and pastel townhouses helped it earn recognition as a European Capital of Culture in 2007. The dual civilian-military airfield has seen steady growth as low-cost carriers such as Wizz Air and Ryanair added routes connecting SBZ to Western Europe, tapping into demand from both Romanian travelers and tourists drawn to Transylvania's medieval architecture and mountain scenery. Sibiu's old town, with its distinctive rooftop windows resembling watching eyes, sits only a short drive from the terminal, making the airport a practical entry point for visitors exploring the Carpathian foothills. Passenger numbers remain modest compared with Romania's largest hubs, but the airport plays an outsized role connecting central Transylvania to the rest of the continent.
