Bălți International Airport (IATA: BZY, ICAO: LUBL), also known as Bălți–Leadoveni International Airport, (Template:Lang-ro) is the second largest international civilian[5] airport in Moldova and one of the two main airports in Bălți, serving the city of Bălți and northern Moldova for civil passenger and cargo flights. Bălți-Leadoveni International Airport was opened in 1989 to replace Bălți-City Airport particularly on international routes and to ease air traffic to Chișinău International Airport.[6]
The second airport in Bălți is the first historic Bălți airport for scheduled flights - the Bălți-City Airport in the "Autogara" ("Bus Station") area, located in the eastern limits of the Bălți urban area, which after the commissioning of the Bălți-Leadoveni International Airport in its last years of active operation (late 1980s) was used as a regional airport used for emergency services, agriculture, aviation works and regional transport.
Bălți International Airport is capable of round-the-clock operation throughout the year and is located outside the Bălți city boundaries, in the village of Corlăteni, Rîșcani District, 15.1 kilometres (9.4 mi) from Bălți city centre (9.7 kilometres (6.0 mi) from the northern outskirts of the city district of "Dacia", or as it is called "Bam"), with direct access to the European route E583 / M5 expressway and the Republican Road R12. The location of Bălți International Airport runway is the most advantageous compared to airports and airfields in the region (i.e. compared to Chișinău International Airport and Marculesti military airfield),[7], which ensures continuous operation of Bălți International Airport without long closures that can last several days at Chișinău International Airport and at Marculesti military airfield.[8]
Since its opening, the airport has served as a hub for Moldovan branch of Aeroflot, then for Air Moldova, and as the main base for Moldaeroservice. In the history of civil aviation of the Republic of Moldova, only the Chișinău International Airport and the Bălți International Airport operated regular Tupolev Tu-134 flights.
The airport was certified and opened for passenger and cargo services, operating regular passenger flights from 1989 - the year the concrete runway was commissioned at the newly built Bălți-Leadoveni Airport - connecting Bălți with 14 cities of the former USSR with Antonov An-24, Tupolev Tu-134, Let L-410 Turbolet aircraft until 1993.[9] In recent years, the airport is used primarily for domestic flights and occasional external flights.[10]
History
Creation
Before the opening of Bălți International Airport, the main airport in Bălți and the second largest airport in the MSSR was Bălți City Airport, which served regular domestic Soviet passenger and cargo flights, as well as domestic flights within Moldova. With the expansion of civil aviation in the former Soviet Union since the 1960s and the operation of jet aircraft such as the Tupolev Tu-134 in 1969 in Moldova,[11] only Chişinău International Airport in the Republic of Moldova was able to serve regular passenger flights by jet aircraft. Although the number of domestic flights on the domestic Bălți - Chişinău route was seven times higher than on any other local route, and in Moldova, except for Chişinău Airport, intra-Soviet scheduled flights were operated only from Bălți City Airport, the limitations of Bălți City Airport became evident as its airport facilities were insufficient to meet the growing demand for jet air transportation: both runways of Bălți City Airport were too short, the surface type (soil/grass) was inappropriate inappropriate and the passenger terminal was not ready to cope with the increased number of passengers on scheduled jet flights.
The design of a new airport for Bălți and the north of Moldova began in 1974.[6] Before the construction of the runway, 146 hectares of chernozem/ploughland were expropriated from the collective farm (kolkhoz) "Leadoveni", near the village of Leadoveni. The choice of the location of the most recent runway built from scratch in the Republic of Moldova was made carefully, taking into account the then modern technical and engineering means[6] and, in particular, the wind rose direction and lack of stable fog at the Bălți International Airport runway site, the highest altitude: 231 metres above sea level.[7]
Altitude and visibility
The runway altitude at Bălți International Airport is 231 meters at the end of the runway with heading 15° and 215 meters at the end of the runway with heading 33°.[12] This runway altitude is the highest and provides the best visibility compared to all other airports and airfields in the region.[8]
Unlike other airports in Moldova and in the region,[7] the Bălți International Airport can operate in any weather conditions. The runway at Bălți International Airport is at an absolute altitude of 231 metres (758 ft), with surrounding valleys descending to 100 metres (330 ft),[13][14][15] which contributes to quick dissipation of fog.
Chişinău Airport the runway is situated at a height of 115 m and surrounded by hills 250 m high, resulting in Chisinau airport being closed several days a year due to persistent fog.[7] The same situation applies to the runway of the military airfield of Marculesti, which is situated at a height of 101 m and surrounded by hills above 300 m - which contributes to the persistent fog in Marculesti.[16]
Soil quality
Soil at Bălți International Airport is not subject to soil erosion,[17] while Chişinău International Airport[18] and Marculesti military airfield[19] are subject to soil erosion processes.
Wind rose
The prevailing wind directions in the Republic of Moldova are N, NE, NW, S and SE.[20]
An anemometer of the reference station located near Bălți International Airport (open place at 200 m above the ground, slightly screened with a low roughness coefficient) revealed the highest average annual wind speed in the Republic of Moldova at Bălți International Airport (followed by Cahul International Airport) compared to the locations of other airports and airfields in Moldova.[21] Both wind speed and Weibull distribution in these studies confirm the correspondence of wind direction at the runwaylocation of Bălți International Airport with the heading of the runway: : NV/SE = 15'/33', thus always providing the necessary wind for take-off or landing in the right direction, without the headwind that often occurs at Chișinău Airport and at the military airfield of Marculesti,[8] each with a runway oriented East-West, which often leads to headwinds at Chisinau Airport. In the Republic of Moldova, apart from the three runways oriented to prevailing winds at Bălți International Airport (1: magnetic heading 15° northwest/33° south-east) and at Bălți City Airport (2: (a) magnetic heading 13° northwest/31° south-east and (b) magnetic heading 01° southwest/19° north-east), only Cahul Airport (1: magnetic heading 16° northwest/34° south-east) has a runway oriented to prevailing winds.
Moreover, among cities with active airports in the Republic of Moldova, the average wind speed in Bălți (2.7 m/s) measured in the period 01/1990 - 12/2011 at an altitude of 101 meters (latitude 47.77462 - longitude 27.95065 corresponds to the runway altitude of Bălți City Airport 47°46′28.6″N 27°57′02.3″E / 47.774611°N 27.950639°E, Bălți International Airport being located at an altitude of 231) is also higher than in Chişinău (2.28 m/s at an altitude of 173 meters - the altitude of the Chişinău airport is lower: 122 meters). The wind speed in Cahul - 3.71 m/s at 196 meters altitude (Cahul Airport is 199[22]-209[23] meters).[24]
ICAO and EASA Civil Aviation Safety Requirements
The positioning of the runway of Bălți International Airport in such a way that the landing and take-off route bypasses the city of Bălți complies with the civil aviation safety requirements established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), namely Article 3.1.2 (Minimum Altitudes) of Chapter 3 (General Regulations) of Annex 2 (Flight Rules) of the Convention on International Civil Aviation and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), namely Article SERA.3105. (Minimum Altitudes) to Chapter 1 (PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY) of Section 3 (GENERAL RULES AND CONTROL OF COLLECTION) of the Annex to the Standardised European Air Traffic Regulations (SERA) which states that aircraft must not fly over congested areas of cities, towns or populated areas or over crowded open-air areas.[25][26] Therefore, no inconveniences were observed during the operation of Bălți International Airport, even when flights were operated by Tupolev Tu-134, one of the noisiest aircraft, popularly called the "whistle".[27][28]
In this context, attempts to operate several irregular flights with medium-sized aircraft from the military airfield in Marculesti (with ground handling and air navigation personnel being driven in for each landing/takeoff to Marculesti from Balti, since not available at the airfield in Marculesti[8]) caused numerous scandals and panic among residents of Bălți. The runway of the military airfield of Marculesti, oriented directly towards the city of Bălți from the east towards the west (direction of border with Romania), was built for light and manoeuvrable military aircraft so that such aircraft could bypass the city on a take-off/landing path that medium and heavy aircraft cannot do.[29][30][31][32][33][34][35]
Name
The name of the Bălți-Leadoveni airport comes from the old name of the former village of Leadoveni (Corlăteni), into which the villages Singureni and Corlăteni were merged in 1966. The name Leadoveni was given in 1945 to the village of Corlăteni (also called Strymba) in honour of Grigori Lyadov,[36] who, during an aeroplane crash, steered the falling plane away from the houses in Singureni and Corlăteni villages. A monument has been erected at the site of his death in Singureni. The Balti Leadoveni airport is now located on the territory of the village of Corlăteni. During World War II, the territory of Singureni village was the main military airfield in Moldova: the Bălți-Singureni airfield. It was home to IAP 55 (later named IAP 16) from Kirovograd with 5 advanced airfields in the Moldavian SSR and the Ukrianian SSR.[37][38] Also during World War II, Kampfgeschwader 27 and Kampfgeschwader 51 from Landsberg am Lech formed from Kampfgeschwader 255[39] were stationed at the airfield in Singureni.
After the independence of Moldova in 1991, the two villages were again separated and returned to their former names, as they were historically: Corlăteni and Singureni. In recent Moldovan legislation, the civilian international airport in Corlăteni is called Bălți International Airport.
The first technical flight on the new Bălți aerodrome was performed on 28 December 1987 on an An-24 by representatives of a test commission of the Moldovan Civil Aviation Authority. On 31 October 1989, the authority established the conformity of the aviation light signals installed at BZY. On 22 February 1990, the State Design and Prospecting Research Institute for Civil Aviation "Aeroproject"[40] confirmed the pavement classification number and indicated the airplanes which may be operated at BZY with no restrictions : Il-18, An-12, Yak-42, Tu-134. On 8 June 1990, BZY was certificated, confirming that airplanes of type Tu-134, An-24, Yak-40 and other types of airplanes of the IIIrd and IVth categories may be freely operated at BZY, as well as any kinds of helicopters. On 31 May 1994, "Aeroproject" confirmed also the capacity of BZY for the operation of Tu-154 (one plane per day) and Il-76T (50 planes per year with weight of 160 tons (352,740 pounds)).
After the official opening in the late 1980s, BZY appears to have been operated by airplanes from Chișinău of the former Moldavian branch of the Soviet company Aeroflot. At that time, the airport was called Bălți–Leadoveni International Airport and became the most important airport in the north of Moldova. After the independence of Moldova in 1991, the airport was used by Air Moldova, the state company successor of the remaining airplanes of Aeroflot.
According to the former[when?] plans, it was planned to build two terminals, one for passengers and another for cargo service, as well as one control tower.[citation needed] Before the break-up of the USSR, the airport was connected, through direct flights, to almost 20 destinations in the former Soviet Union, including Moscow, Kyiv, and Sochi.[citation needed]
Perspectives
The new role for the Bălți International Airport could be the first hub for low-cost airlines in Moldova, since the only airport which operates, as a monopoly holder, with high airport taxes regular passenger flights remains Chișinău airport.[41]
Approximately one third or more of all passengers on the routes operated by Air Moldova having roughly half of the share of all flights from Chișinău airport come from Bălți and the northern districts of Moldova. Since May 2015 Air Moldova sells flight tickets with destination point BZY providing a bus transfer service from Bălți to Chișinău airport. Started from one bus per day in the beginning, there are three buses per day as of today circulating between Bălți and Chișinău airport and only for Air Moldova flights.[42]
Important development perspectives also appear for Bălți International Airport in the cargo field, which would generate economic growth for the whole northern region of Moldova. The region boasts an 8% annual GDP growth, and real estate investment projects in Bălți by Western European businesses are some of the growth factors.
Facilities
Under the activity plan report dated 1 March 2013, established in the framework of an inspection carried out by the Moldovan Civil Aviation Authority, the following services at BZY were verified: Passenger and Baggage — General, Ticketing and airport services, Departing passengers processing, Arriving passengers processing, Baggage.[43]
According to a short notice published on the site of the Moldovan Ministry of Transports and Infrastructure of Roads,[44] BZY is located on the territory of the Riscani region with a surface of 144,5567 ha and includes an aerodrome, a passenger terminal, a baggage handling facility, buildings and constructions ensuring technological process (a metallic hangar, a diesel electric generator for autonomous reserve energy, a square in front of the passenger terminal, parking lots for special purposes ground vehicles and others) as well as a land surface which may be used for infrastructure development of BZY.
According to decision No 32 of the Court of Auditors of Moldova dated 25 May 2007, the Balti International Airport was confirmed as corresponding to the ICAO requirements, although irregularly managed with inefficient accounting by the direction of Moldaeroservice[45]
On 30 August 2007, pursuant to the Decision No 987, the Government of Moldova decided to identify and realise measures for economic efficiency of the Balti International Airport (and Cahul airport) in the Republic of Moldova until 2012, to encourage and stimulate investments including the private ones in these airports.[46]
On 29 October 2010, the Government of the Republic of Moldova adopted decision No 983 pursuant to which it obliged the Free Economic Zone of Balti to build real estate assets on the territory of the Balti International Airport in exchange for the real estate assets transferred to the Free Economic Zone of Balti from the former Balti City Airport.[47] No construction works on the territory of the Balti International Airport started as of today, although the Free Economic Zone of Balti already built real estate assets for business purposes on the received land plots of the Balti City Airport.
Operator
On 12 September 1994, the Moldovan Civil Aviation Authority created the State Aviation Enterprise "Moldaeroservice". Moldaeroservice was created on the basis of the Bălți Aviation Enterprise and Bălți branch of the State Airline Air Moldova and is subordinated to the Moldovan Civil Aviation Authority.
Currently, Moldaeroservice operates Bălți International Airport, even though no regular flights are being operated and the operational certificate was withdrawn by Moldovan authorities on 14 October 2015, purportedly for the lack of financing of Moldaeroservice.
As Moldova was experiencing an economic crisis in the 1990s, the re-construction and modernization plans of the airport, as well as the whole aviation industry, were put on hold. Only in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Chișinău International Airport was modernized, with help from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. Chișinău International Airport is today the only airport in Moldova operated by regular passenger and cargo routes.
Bălți International Airport is currently used mainly by an irregular charter passenger, and more often by cargo flights. In between rare flights, the runway serves for Moldavian rallies and open-air concerts.
Airlines and destinations
As of 2020, there are no regular scheduled flights to and from Bălți International.
Access
Bălți International Airport is situated in the northern part of Moldova, near the city of Bălți, one of the five Moldovan municipalities, on the land of the commune of Corlăteni in Rîșcani district.
It can be easily accessed by car, exiting Bălți in the northern direction, and following the E583 highway. Numerous coaches and minibuses used for public transportation connecting Bălți to the northern districts of Moldova stop upon request at the highway–airport access junction.
