OUR MISSION

We are looking to increase passenger traffic and the number of airline companies, by building and consolidating partnerships with them.

Suceava International Airport is the first Romanian airport that accessed European funds for modernisation. The airport has signed a financing contract for €39 million.

The rehabilitation programme has finished and the airport’s infrastructure is modernised. On 25 October the first flights operated from the new airport.

The one which was once a province of the Austrian Empire, Bukovina, kept its traditions and uniqueness away from the nowadays growing modernization.

OUR AIM : „The Gateway to Bucovina”

WE PROMOTE: Regional development through:

• Initiation of patrimonial structures;
• Socio-economical development of the region;
• Initiatives regarding the improvement of airport infrastructure;
• Stimulation of regional investments and tourism promovation;
• Stimulation of business development in the region.

The development of the airport infrastructure of R.A. Airport “Ştefan cel Mare” Suceava represents the key element so the airport can benefit of the oportunities offered by :its geographical position, the presence of an important amount of people that work abroad, the area’s important touristic potential and the future economical development of the region.

Also we need to mention that the growth of airport activity through scheduled and charter flights would help the development of the region.

The region’s touristic potential is important and insufficiently exploited at present, also because of the lack of an airport in the region that can serve companies with aircraft of over 100 seats.

The airport’s potential to develop more than the other nearby airports depends on the coherent commercial strategy regarding the efforts made for its development and the traffic situation in the region.
