Romanian airports posted a 23.3 pct increase in passenger numbers in 2017, to 20.2 million, a record high due to both international and domestic flights, which soared as a consequence of poor road and rail infrastructure, according to figures released by National Institute of Statistics (INS), quoted by Business-Review.eu.

Total passenger numbers on the 17 Romanian airports have increased from 16.4 million in 2016 to 20.22 million in 2017.

International passenger traffic rose 19.6 percent last year, to 17.48 million, and the number of passengers carried with domestic flights soared 53.7 percent, to 2.74 million, official data show, says TransylvaniaToday.ro.
