Bacău George Enescu International Airport guide

George Enescu International Airport lies 5 km south of Bacău in eastern Romania. It is named after the composer George Enescu, who grew up in the region. The airport opened to passengers in 1946 and gained international status in 1975.

The airport has a single asphalt runway, 16/34, 2,500 m long. The Romanian Air Force 95th Air Base shares it, so military training flights and helicopters use the same airfield. In 2009 it became the first privately run airport in Romania, managed by BlueAero, a subsidiary of Blue Air. It later returned to local control and has been run jointly by the city and county since 2014.

A new passenger terminal opened in November 2017. It handles 450 passengers an hour and has four boarding gates. Dan Air, which keeps a base here, and Wizz Air provide most of the scheduled service, with routes to Italy, Spain, Belgium, Ireland and the United Kingdom. The airport recorded about 451,000 passengers in 2025.
