The Buzescu law firm has secured a victory in the Romanian High Court on behalf of Wizz Air in a dispute against Timisoara Airport and Carpatair.

The dispute revolved around a Marketing Agreement, according to the firm, which obliged the Airport to pay certain marketing fees, calculated as a function of the increase of the passenger traffic to Wizz Air. The Airport was contesting the value requested based on Wizz Air's calculations. At the same time, Carpatair, a Romanian competitor to the Hungarian low-cost airline, argued that the Marketing Agreement disguised state aid granted to Wizz Air via the Airport, where the Romanian State is a controlling shareholder. The High Court dismissed the appeals filed by both Timisoara Airport and Carpatair. 

Carpatair was represented by Tuca Zbarcea & Asociatii and Timisoara Airport by Vilau & Mitel.
