## Description

A 5,000 m² freight building with 13 truck doors and four airside gates gives Arad International Airport (ARW/LRAR) what its operator describes as the largest and most modern cargo terminal in western Romania, rated at 300 tonnes of storage per day and throughput of up to 50 tonnes an hour. The layout is built for fast transfer between road feeder services and aircraft, which matters more here than passenger numbers. Four kilometres west of the city and close to the Hungarian border, Arad sits within trucking distance of Budapest and Vienna via the Nădlac crossing and the A1 motorway, making it a plausible feeder point for the big Central European freight hubs. Scheduled freighter services, however, are not confirmed: volumes come from charter, ad-hoc and feeder movements plus belly capacity on the limited scheduled flights. Whether customs clearance and bonded storage can be arranged on site is worth checking with the handling agent in advance, as no binding public information is available. Timișoara Traian Vuia (TSR) lies only about 50 km away with more scheduled capacity, while Bucharest Otopeni (OTP) and Budapest (BUD) remain the reference points for intercontinental shipments.
