Iaşi Airport is one of the oldest accredited airports in Romania. The Iaşi region earned its commercial representative status on 24 June 1926, when scheduled flights were officialized on the route Bucharest – Galaţi – Iaşi and Chişinău.
In 1969 Iaşi Airport was modernized, a concrete runway was built with a total length of 1,800 m (5,906 ft), with a modern lighting system and a passenger terminal. (more info on wikipedia...)
Sadly, this was the place where HA-LAR (Let L-410) crashed. The Let 410 departed Bucharests domestic airport Baneasa for a regular mail flight to Iasi. Weather was poor as the aircraft arrived near Iasi. Snowfall limited the visibility to approx. 2 kilometers with a temperature of -4 deg. C. The first attempt to land was reportedly aborted. On the second attempt the airplane crashed near a road short of the runway. (from ASN)
