Iași Airport (IATA: IAS, ICAO: LRIA) is an airport serving the city of Iași, Romania. It is located 8 km (5.0 mi) northeast of the city centre.[1]

History

Iasi airport terminal

Iași Airport is one of the oldest accredited airports in Romania. The Iași region earned its commercial representative status on 24 June 1926, when scheduled flights were officialized on the route BucharestGalaţi – Iași and Chişinău. The flights were operated by Compagnie Franco-Roumaine de Navigation Aérienne - CFRNA, later LARES.[4]

In 1966, a concrete runway, with a total length of 1,800 m (5,906 ft) and with a modern lighting system, was built. In 1969, a new passenger terminal was added.

In 2001, the passenger terminal was upgraded in order to process, using separate flows, 150 passengers an hour for domestic flights and 100 passengers an hour for international flights and, in 2005, an instrument landing system CAT II was implemented.

In June 2012, a new temporary passenger terminal, used for Schengen flights, was added.[5]

Current and future development

Iași International Airport has started a long-term, multi-stage upgrade program; the airport will basically be reconstructed into a state-of-the-art airport.[6]

Module I of the project (an estimated 80 million investment) is planned to be completed until the end of 2015, in two stages. The first stage involves the construction of a new 2,400 m (7,874 ft) runway. In June 2013, the contract for the construction of the runway was signed with Max Bögl Romania.[7] On 7 August 2013, the construction works for the new runway have begun.[8] The second stage of the module will involve the construction of two rapid-exit taxiways and an apron.[9]

In 2016–2020, the project will continue with the next three modules for the construction of a new passenger terminal, a cargo terminal, an aircraft fuel depot, a 600 m (1,969 ft) extension for the runway (to a total length of 3,000 m (9,843 ft)), as well as of a new access roadway.[6][9]

Traffic and statistics

In 2012, the airport served 170,645 passengers, a 7.3% decrease compared to the previous year, partly due to the two-week airport closure for runway maintenance reasons.[2]
