## Description

Hermannstadt, as Sibiu is called in German, was European Capital of Culture in 2007 — and its airport (IATA: SBZ, ICAO: LRSB) reflects Transylvania's close ties to the German-speaking world: Austrian, the Lufthansa Group, and Wizz Air link the city above all with destinations in Germany and Austria, home to many Transylvanian Saxons. The runway of around 2,600 metres can accommodate larger medium-haul jets, and passenger numbers are growing steadily with the region's strong industrial base. No regular air cargo is handled; smaller shipments travel as belly cargo at most. The nearest cargo alternatives are Cluj-Napoca (IATA: CLJ, approx. 170 km) and Bucharest-Otopeni (IATA: OTP, approx. 270 km).
