Satu Mare Airport (IATA: SUJ, ICAO: LRSM) is an international airport located in northwest Romania, 14 km (8.7 mi) south[1] of Satu Mare municipality, the capital of Satu Mare County.

## History

[edit]

Satu Mare Airport is one of the first airports in Romania, founded on 15 October 1936. In 1938, a Junkers 34 operating the Cluj – Satu Mare – Oradea – Cluj route became the first plane to arrive at the airfield. The current runway was inaugurated in 1975. In 1996, the facility was designated as an international airport.[8] TAROM launched a direct flight to New York City in June 1998. The service originated in Bucharest and was operated by Airbus A310s.[8][9]
