Iaşi Airport is one of the oldest accredited airports in Romania. The Iaşi region earned its commercial representative status on 24 June 1926, when scheduled flights were officialized on the route Bucharest – Galaţi – Iaşi and Chişinău. The flights were operated by Compagnie Franco-Roumaine de Navigation Aérienne - CFRNA, later LARES.[3]
In 1969 Iaşi Airport was modernized, a concrete runway was built with a total length of 1,800 m (5,906 ft), with a modern lighting system and a passenger terminal.
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.
It has been announced that Iaşi International Airport will be undergoing modernisation, the airport will basically be reconstructed into a state-of-the-art airport.[4]
