A small military base, which also hosts the National Museum of Romanian Aviation, remains in the location where the airport used to be.

The first direct flight from Paris to Bucharest was done by the French–Romanian airline company CFRNA/CIDNA, with an airplane piloted by Albert Louis Deullin, who landed at Pipera Airport in October 1921.

[5] In the spring of 1951, after the start of communist rule in Romania, aircraft repair facilities which had previously been located at the Cotroceni airfield were moved to Pipera.

The repair facility employed 250 civilian workers who serviced military aircraft.

Some of the old hangars have been incorporated into the museum, while the runway has been replaced by the Dimitrie Pompeiu Road and an office building.
