Chisinau is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Chişinău International Airport (RMO), 11 km (7 mi) from the centre, whose 11,778-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Iaşi International Airport (IAS, 96 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chişinău International Airport | RMO | 11 km (7 mi) | 11,778 ft | 399 ft |
| Iaşi International Airport | IAS | 96 km (60 mi) | 7,874 ft | 411 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,778 ft, RMO can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 399 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
