[edit] History
Ştefan cel Mare Airport opened in 1932 as Suceava Airport. Commercial services started in 1960, with TAROM. In 1963 the runway was paved. Services by TAROM were discontinued until 2001 but resumed in 2004. During this period, the airport was served only by Angel Airlines. In March 2005 airport was renamed "Ştefan cel Mare" after Stephen the Great and was opened to international traffic for the first time.
There are current plans to extend the runway with new ILS system and to build a new control tower. Works are scheduled to begin in September 2012 [1]. The runway will be extended to 2460m and widened to 45m. The concrete surface will be replaced by a more modern asphalt runway. The goal is to achieve a yearly passenger number of 125,000. [2]
