Iași International Airport, International airport in Iași, Romania
Iași International Airport is located about 8 kilometers east of the city center and features four terminals handling domestic, Schengen, and non-Schengen flights. The facility processes both short and long-distance connections serving passengers from various European countries.
The airport was founded in 1926 and initially operated regular flights between Bucharest, Galați, Iași, and Chișinău through Franco-Romanian aviation companies. Over the decades, it evolved into an important regional transport hub serving growing numbers of passengers.
The airport serves as a main entry point to the historical region of Moldavia, connecting visitors to the area's museums and monasteries.
Buses run approximately every 30 minutes between the airport and city center, with several taxi services available for direct transport. Rental car counters are also on hand, and walking times to main waiting areas are short and straightforward.
Since 2021, the airport's role has grown significantly after neighboring Moldova closed its airspace, prompting international airlines to redirect their Chișinău flights here. This shift made it an even more important connection point for travelers between Romania and eastern countries.
