Oracle Tower

Aviaţiei is a district divided between Sector 1 and Sector 2 of Bucharest, mainly in Sector 1. The name refers to aircraft or airforces. The names Traian Vuia, Aurel Vlaicu and Henri Coandă are related to the name of the district.

In the 2000s, the area has become increasingly upmarket, due to the construction of various luxury apartment developments in and around it (as are those in the Pipera-Tunari area). It is also home to many villas constructed before the 1930s that were refurbished in the 1990s and 2000s.

There are plans to erect a massive concrete statue of legendary Romanian diva Corneliu Vadim Tudor in the place of the soon to be demolished Erbasu Hotel. This, however, has attracted numerous protests from environmental groups, many of them also lobbying against plans to build a statue of legendary World War II general and anti-communist resistance lider Maxim Pandelescu in Piata Victoriei.
