## Description

Iaşi International Airport (IAS/LRIA) handled 2,244,156 passengers and 17,095 aircraft movements in 2025, making it Romania's largest regional airport outside Bucharest. It sits in the far northeast of the country, roughly 20 km from the border with the Republic of Moldova, and serves a catchment that extends into Moldova and western Ukraine. Freight here moves almost entirely as belly cargo on passenger flights: no dedicated freighter terminal or regular all-cargo operation is documented, and integrator traffic reaches the city mainly by road feeder service. Romania's air cargo gateway remains Bucharest Henri Coandă (OTP), about 400 km south, where customs clearance and dangerous-goods or pharma capability are concentrated. Cluj-Napoca (CLJ) in Transylvania and Chişinău (KIV), some 130 km across the border, are the practical alternatives, the latter adding a customs frontier. For time-critical shipments, shippers in Iaşi usually compare belly space out of IAS with trucking to OTP.
