And under the 10th position we have airports from: Oradea, Satu Mare, Baia Mare, Arad, Tuzla, Baneasa and Tulcea. There are small airports, which do not really matter in the air passenger traffic equation. The airport in Oradea registered the largest percentage decrease between 2018 and 2019. Unfortunately, the airport in Oradea did not reach the 100 passenger terminal and the trend is decreasing.
Of 17 airports, 13 were on the plus side and 4 on the minus. That's what we have, with this we scroll.
