Romania Air Transport
In 1984 the nation's two airlines, TAROM and LAR, had a
fleet
of seventy heavy transport aircraft. Air service was
offered to
every region of the country through a network of 160
airfields, of
which 15 had runways 2,500 meters or more in length. Four
international airports (Bucharest, Constanta, Timisoara,
and
Suceava) provided connections to thirty-eight foreign
destinations.
In passenger volume, the busiest airports were Bucharest,
Caransebes in Caras-Severin judet, Timisoara, Satu
Mare,
Botosani, Iasi, and Constanta. Between 1965 and 1984, the
volume
of cargo transported by air increased from 5 million to
about 40
million ton-kilometers, while passenger transport rose
from 374 to
1,936 million passenger-kilometers.
