Iaşi International Airport — Iaşi, Romania

Serving Iași, the cultural and historical capital of the Moldavia region in northeastern Romania, Iași International Airport, bearing the code IAS, sits near a city long recognized as a center of Romanian literature, universities, and Orthodox religious heritage close to the border with Moldova. Passenger traffic through IAS has grown substantially in recent years as budget carriers expanded their route networks, turning the airport into an increasingly significant base for connections across Western Europe, where sizable Romanian diaspora communities work and live. A new terminal building has helped the airport handle rising volumes that outgrew its older facilities. Iași's universities and historic architecture, including notable churches and the Palace of Culture, draw a modest but growing tourism segment alongside the diaspora travel that dominates the airport's traffic patterns.
