- Abstract
A modern airport building was a priority of the Municipality of Timişoara beginning with 1931, for it was a distinct need of the local businessmen, but also a strategical one. Two important institutions joined the Municipality efforts: the Prefecture of Timiş-Torontal County and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Timişoara. Complex treating with central authorities took place in order to start the airport building works. The Municipality took the pledge to offer the terrain, to finance an important part of the works, and to build the objective substructure. After difficult negotiations to obtain the place, the building auction went to A. Schmiedingen Company, while a substantial part of the necessary amount was allotted by the Municipality (in the context of prices advance); the Municipality made efforts to build the future airport substructure and, in the same time, for the maintenance of a provisional airport. The local authorities did not enjoy the support of the central departmental authorities in that matter. The Superior Administrative Court decision to make void the auction result and Word War II beginning let Timişoara, one of the largest towns in Romania, without a modern airport.
