Iași International Airport (IATA: IAS, ICAO: LRIA) is an international airport located in Iași, Romania, 8 km (5 mi) east of the city centre. One of the oldest accredited airports in Romania, Iași Airport is the fourth-busiest airport in Romania in terms of passenger traffic, and the most important airport in the historical region of Moldavia.
History[]
The Iași region earned its commercial representative status on 24 June 1926, when scheduled flights commenced on the route Bucharest – Galați – Iași – Chișinău. The flights were operated by Compagnie Franco-Roumaine de Navigation Aérienne - CFRNA, in 1930 renamed LARES.[6]
In 1966, a north–south concrete runway, 15/33, with a total length of 1,800 m (5,906 ft), and a modern lighting system, were built, followed three years later by the construction of a passenger terminal.[7] In 2001, the passenger terminal was upgraded to use separate flows for domestic and international flights.[7]
In June 2012, a new passenger terminal, named Terminal T2, was added, increasing the total processing capacity to 215 pax/hour.[7] The terminal was designated to be used for Schengen/domestic flights.[8] The old terminal has been renamed Terminal T1.
In 2013, Iași International Airport started a long-term, multi-stage upgrade program.[9] Module I of the project (an estimated €57 million investment) was completed in November 2015,[10] and involved the construction of a new runway, a terminal building, and the extension of the apron.[7][11][12] On 20 August 2014, the first 1,800 m (5,906 ft) of the new runway 14/32 went into operation,[13] whilst the entire length of 2,400 m (7,874 ft) became fully operational on 16 October 2014.[14] The old runway 15/33 was converted into a taxiway. On 17 October 2015, the third terminal building (T3) with a processing capacity of 320 pax/hour, was inaugurated.[15] A project which includes the expansion of T2 (that would double the terminal's area) was also proposed, in October 2015.[16]
For the long term, the development project proposes other modules for the construction of a new passenger terminal, a new apron, two rapid-exit taxiways, a cargo terminal, an aircraft fuel depot, a new access roadway, as well as of a 600-metre (2,000 ft) extension for the runway to a total length of 3,000 m (9,843 ft).[9][11]
On 13 November 2017, Iași Airport exceeded the 1,000,000 passenger mark.[17]
