Iaşi Airport is one of the oldest acredited airports in Romania. The Iaşi region earned its commercial representative status in 1926, when scheduled flights were officialized on the route Bucharest – Galaţi – Iaşi and Chişinău. In 1969 Iaşi Airport was modernized, a concrete runway was built with a total length of 1800 m, with a modern lighting system and a passenger terminal. A new passenger terminal capable of processing 150 pax/hour for domestic flights and 100 pax/hour for international flights using separate flows was opened in 2001, making it one of the most modern and functional regional airports in Romania.
