A question to the floor, is there any likelihood of FR moving its Bucharest base from OTP to the recently reopened Baneasa airport? BBU was historically the lower-cost hub of Bucharest's two airports, and up until 2012 served as a base for other LCCs, namely Wizz Air and Blue Air prior to being closed. Now that the airport has reopened to commercial flying, it'll be interesting if anyone knows if FR are showing interest in flying out of BBU, as FR had reportedly been in discussions with the airport previously - see:

Personally, I really hope they won't leave OTP for BBU. I remember flying W6 and Blue Air to BBU from LTN a few times and the reality is that the terminal cannot cope with frequent departures and is just too small to handle full 738s and A320s. The departure lounge was also awful, again being too small and people being sandwiched against each other. Given FR have a sizeable base at OTP already, I am struggling to imagine this being accommodated at BBU.
