Oradea International Airport

Oradea Airport (IATA: OMR, ICAO: LROD) is an international airport located 5 km (3.1 mi) southwest of Oradea in northwestern Romania, Bihor County, near one of the main road and rail border crossings to Hungary. It is also located near the European route E60 and the future Transylvania motorway - has led to a double digit growth in passenger and cargo traffic for the past two years.

The airport competes with the neighboring Debrecen Airport in Hungary.

The civilian airport became operational in 1938. In 2009, Bihor County contracted consultancy services regarding the extension of the runway, the construction of a cargo terminal, and the renovation of the passenger terminal. The airport terminal is now renovated to European Union (and Schengen Area) standards, and offers various specific facilities and modern amenities such as car rental, exchange offices, various shops, etc.

Regarding the runway (and other connected facilities), the Bihor County Commission completed the final contractual formalities with the EU Commission representatives, as this type of infrastructure work was eligible for European funds. A 30 million financing agreement for the EU funds was signed on 7 February 2014. Works on the new 2,100 m (6,890 ft) runway, two rapid-exit taxiways and other facility buildings began on 20 October 2014. In May 2025, the new cargo terminal opened with 13.000 square meters of facilities.

The construction works for the runway modernization were completed on 30 October 2015.

In the summer of 2024, the county established a public company to subsidize international flights. As of May 2025, HiSky, LOT Polish Airlines and Lufthansa have been approved.

The following airlines operate regular scheduled and charter flights at Oradea Airport:

Since April 2009, the NATO Centre of Excellence in Oradea is a member of NATO's Centres of Excellence (COE) network. All aircraft involved in Oradea's NATO Centre of Excellence activities utilize the Oradea International Airport.
