Cluj Airport (IATA: CLJ, ICAO: LRCL), called Cluj International Airport, in Romanian Aeroportul Internațional Avram Iancu Cluj, is a Romanian airport located 9 km east of the center of Cluj-Napoca, on the European road E576 (towards Dej), about 20 km east of the A3 and about 1 km from the eastern bypass of the city which connects with the E60 to the south-east of Cluj. Fourth Romanian airport by number of passengers at the end of 2009, only surpassed by the two airports in Bucharest (OTP and BBU) and Timișoara, Cluj airport serves the entire northwest and the center of the country, that is Transylvania. The airport is named after the Transylvanian patriot Avram Iancu (1824-1872) protagonist of the Transylvanian Revolution.
The airport was modernised in the 1960s: the new passenger terminal was opened in 1969 and new flight safety equipment was installed in 1970.
Since 1996, goods have been handled and in August 1997 the Provincial Council became manager of the airport, immediately starting work on the expansion of the terminal and re-establishing the Budapest-Cluj Napoca flight making it international again.
Since becoming an international airport in 1996, passenger traffic has been steadily increasing. The opening of a new Nokia factory in Jucu, as well as a large growth in traffic, led the provincial council to invest again for the expansion of the airport.
