Distance & flight time from ARW
Arad International Airport
ARW belongs to Arad International Airport, located in western Romania near the Hungarian border. Elevation here reaches 352 feet, and one runway handles all arrivals and departures for the city of Arad and its surrounding county. Arad's position close to the frontier has long made it a crossing point between Romania and Hungary, and the airport reflects that role through a modest schedule of regional European flights alongside general aviation traffic. This single-runway configuration matches many secondary Romanian airports built to serve regional cities rather than the capital, Bucharest, which carries the bulk of the country's international air traffic.
