Târgu Mureș Transilvania Airport (Romanian: Aeroportul Transilvania Târgu Mureș) (IATA: TGM, ICAO: LRTM) is an international airport located 14 km (8.7 mi) southwest^[1] of Târgu Mureș, Mureş County, in central Romania. Formerly known as Târgu Mureș Vidrasău Airport (for the locality 17 km (11 mi) outside of Târgu Mureș where it is located), it was renamed Transilvania Airport in May 2006.

Opened in 1936 and modernized in 1969,^[3] it serves the city of Târgu Mureș as well Mureș, Harghita and Bistrița-Năsăud counties. Târgu Mureş Airport provides services for an area of 24,500 km² (9,500 sq mi), with some 2.6 million inhabitants.

The airport has undergone extensive renovation. In October 2005 a new international terminal was opened, and Category II instrument landing system was installed, allowing the handling of flights 24 hours a day.
