## Description

Built during the German occupation in the Second World War, the airfield at Borcea has become Europe's focal point for F-16 training. As Romania's 86th Air Base, it hosts the European F-16 Training Centre (EFTC), inaugurated in late 2023, where Romanian and Ukrainian pilots train on the type; Romania has taken ownership of 18 former Royal Netherlands Air Force F-16AM/BM jets based here. In 2026 the UK Royal Air Force temporarily deployed Eurofighter Typhoons to the base for NATO air-policing duties. As a purely military field it handles no civilian air cargo — the nearest freight option is Bucharest Otopeni (IATA: OTP, ICAO: LROP), about 140 km away.
