History


The Iași region earned its commercial representative status on 24 June 1926, when scheduled flights commenced on the route Bucharest – Galați – Iași – Chișinău. The flights were operated by Compagnie Franco-Roumaine de Navigation Aérienne - CFRNA, in 1930 renamed LARES.[6]

In 1966, a north–south concrete runway, 15/33, with a total length of 1,800 m (5,906 ft), and a modern lighting system, were built, followed three years later by the construction of a passenger terminal.[7] In 2001, the passenger terminal was upgraded to use separate flows for domestic and international flights.[7]

In June 2012, a new passenger terminal, named T2, was added, increasing the total processing capacity to 215 pax/hour.[7] The terminal was designated to be used for Schengen/domestic flights.[8] The old terminal has been renamed T1.

In 2013, Iași International Airport started a long-term, multi-stage upgrade program.[9] Module I of the project (an estimated €57 million investment) was completed in November 2015,[10] and involved the construction of a new runway, a terminal building, and the extension of the apron.[7][11][12] On 20 August 2014, the first 1,800 m (5,906 ft) of the new runway 14/32 went into operation,[13] whilst the entire length of 2,400 m (7,874 ft) became fully operational on 16 October 2014.[14] The old runway 15/33 was converted into a taxiway. On 17 October 2015, the third terminal building (T3) with a processing capacity of 320 pax/hour and two boarding gates, was inaugurated.[15] A project which includes the expansion of T2 (that would double the terminal's area) was also proposed, in October 2015.[16]

On 13 November 2017, Iași Airport exceeded the 1,000,000 passenger mark.[17]

In March 2021, an extension of the apron was completed and a new taxiway was inaugurated.[18]

The airport experienced a surge in traffic in February 2022, as Moldova closed its airspace due to the Russian Invasion of Ukraine. Due to the airport's proximity to the Moldovan border, many airlines decided to reroute their flights to Chișinău to Iași's airport, while other airlines announced plans to increase the number of destinations served from Iași.[19]

On 9 May 2022, a contract of over €66 million was signed with Strabag for the design and execution of the T4 passenger terminal and the extension of the parking lot.[20] With an area of 31,210 m2 (335,942 sq ft) and a processing capacity of 3.3 million passengers/year, the new terminal will have seven gates (four jetways and three ground-loading gates).[21][22] The completion term of the project is estimated to be December 2023.[21]

For the long term, the development project proposes other modules for the construction of a new apron, two rapid-exit taxiways, a cargo terminal, an aircraft fuel depot, a new access roadway, as well as of a 600-metre (2,000 ft) extension for the runway to a total length of 3,000 m (9,843 ft).[9][11]


Terminals


The airport facilities consist of three terminals. The old terminal T1 and the lastly built T3 are used to accommodate international flights, while T2 is used for domestic flights. Following the completion of works on the new terminal T4, there are plans for T2 to be converted into a cargo terminal, while T1 will function as an administrative space and T3 will continue to be used for domestic flights.[22]
