## Description

Five thousand square metres, thirteen truck gates and four aircraft stands make the cargo terminal at Arad International Airport (ARW/LRAR) the largest and most modern in western Romania. Sitting beside the Arad Free Zone, it is built for air freight between Western Europe and the Middle East, with storage capacity around 300 tonnes per day. The airport lies four kilometres west of Arad near the Hungarian border; scheduled passenger service is thin and fell about 8% in 2024, so freight and charter movements define its role. For forwarders, the draw is the mix of free-zone status, on-site customs and quick access to the A1 motorway toward Hungary. Those needing scheduled passenger or belly capacity turn to Timișoara (TSR), roughly 50 km away.
