Arad International Airport guide

Arad International Airport sits in the Crișana region of western Romania, about 30 km from the Hungarian border. It opened in 1937 and is owned by the Arad County Council. Its operating company is Aeroportul Arad SA.

Traffic is small. The airport handled 16,633 passengers in 2022, up 42.5 percent on 2021, and scheduled and charter flying is limited. Corendon Airlines runs a seasonal charter service to Antalya, and MGA Airlines also serves the Arad-Antalya route.

The single concrete runway is 2,000 m by 45 m and carries a Category II instrument landing system. The airport is linked to the A1 motorway on Pan-European Corridor IV. Timișoara Airport, the region's larger gateway, lies about 60 km to the south.

The passenger terminal, known as T2, opened in April 2016 with a capacity of 500 passengers per hour. A cargo terminal, the largest in western Romania, shares the site. A SMURD air ambulance base operates a Eurocopter EC135 from the airport.
