Cluj Avram Iancu International Airport lies on the northeastern edge of Cluj-Napoca in Transylvania, and is Romania's leading regional gateway. It offers a single hard-surfaced runway served by an ILS, full ATC coverage and a busy schedule of airline traffic, making it a significant destination for pilots flying into northwestern Romania.
Cluj Avram Iancu International Airport, also historically known as Someseni Airport, serves the city of Cluj-Napoca in Transylvania, northwestern Romania. It has been administered by the Cluj County Council since 1997 and has grown into the country's principal regional airport, ranking as the second-busiest in Romania. For a simulator pilot it offers the character of a mid-sized international field with full instrument approach facilities and airline traffic mixed with general aviation movements.
The airport sits at Cluj-Napoca, within Cluj County in Transylvania, at coordinates 46.7869 N, 23.6843 E and an elevation of 1027 feet. It operates as a controlled aerodrome with its own approach and tower services, reflecting its role as a busy regional airline hub in the northwest of the country.
The airport has a single physical runway, 08/26, of hard surface construction and lit for night operations. Runway 08 measures 6327 feet in length, while runway 26 measures 6660 feet and is equipped with an ILS, giving pilots a precision approach aid for that direction.
Traffic in the Cluj area is worked by Napoc Approach on 126.43 MHz. Cluj ATIS broadcasts on 125.525 MHz, and Cluj Tower operates on 118.705 MHz, with a precision approach radar frequency (GCA) on 118.7 MHz and an alternate tower frequency of 134.4 MHz. The field is equipped with an ILS on runway 26.
Cluj Avram Iancu International Airport, formerly known as Someseni Airport, was placed under the authority of the Cluj County Council in 1997, becoming the country's second airport and its first regional airport. In the decades since, sustained modernisation and infrastructure development have transformed it from a small regional field into one of Romania's most significant airports, a growth recognised by European industry bodies including an award from ACI Europe as the best airport in its passenger-traffic category.
