Alexeni Airfield
Alexeni, Romania
Alexeni airfield was a military airfield of the Romanian Air Force located in the Alexeni commune near the city of Urziceni, Ialomița County, at 66 km (41 mi) north-east of the capital city of Romania. Hosting the 94th Helicopter Regiment since 1965, the base was closed in 2001. Following its closure, the Ministry of Transport proposed the airfield as a new low-cost airport for Bucharest. After the project's failure, the airfield was given to the Ialomița County Council, which leased it in 2024 to a Romanian-Ukrainian joint venture. Under the current plan, Alexeni will be turned into a cargo and passenger hub capable to take over a significant part of the traffic from the Otopeni airport.
