I want to assure the people of Iasi that we will make all the necessary steps for the investments at the Iasi Airport to continue ”, said Maricel POPA, the president of the Iasi County Council.

"We are convinced that we will remain at the top of the country's airports in terms of air traffic. From June, five new destinations will appear in our route portfolio (Glasgow, Florence, Valencia, Munich and Constanta). The target number of passengers predicted by the end of this year is 1.000.000-1.2000.000. An estimate made without taking into account the new routes announced, but only increasing the frequency for certain existing flights and introducing charter flights.

At Iasi Airport, four different companies operate, the number of flights to and from Iasi reaching 24, of which 19 are international and five domestic. At the same time, we are conducting negotiations to attract new companies to Iasi and we are continuing, in parallel, the steps to increase connectivity with other important cities: Frankfurt, Athens, Dublin, Warsaw, Zagreb. It is also important to note that some companies, based in Iași, are also starting to turn their attention to international central airports.
