Satu Mare Airport is one of the first airports in Romania, founded on 15 October 1936. In 1938, a Junkers 34 operating the Cluj – Satu Mare – Oradea – Cluj route became the first plane to arrive at the airfield. The current runway was inaugurated in 1975.[8] In 1996, the facility was designated as an international airport, and two years later, TAROM launched a direct flight to New York City. The service originated in Bucharest and was operated by Airbus A310s.[8][9]
