AIRROMANIA

Airports

What the airport itself says.

Most airport advice online is copied from other airport advice, which is how one airport's rule ends up presented as everyone's. This page is read at each operator's own passenger pages, and it stops where the operator stops.

The airports do not agree with each other

That is the reason this page exists. On liquids alone there are three different rules in one country: Brașov still runs the hundred millilitre limit with a single one litre bag, Sibiu dropped that limit in September 2025 and allows two litre containers, and București allows two litres as well but only to passengers who start their journey there. Electronics come out of the bag at București and Timișoara and stay in it at Cluj and Sibiu. Two operators even cite different European regulations for the same liquid limit: Oradea names 2015/1998 and Bacău names 246/2013.

So nothing here is generalised from one airport to another and nothing is added because it sounds likely. Each operator states its rule as the rule at its own filters, and where an operator says the answer belongs to the airline rather than to the airport, that is written down as the answer. Coverage grows one operator at a time, as each set of pages is read. 13 of the 15 airports in the register are covered here so far.

Aeroportul Internațional Henri Coandă București

Published by Compania Națională Aeroporturi București at https://bucharestairports.ro.

Checking in

  • The airport publishes no single closing time. It says the deadline changes with the destination and the airline, and that you should follow the time on your ticket or ask the airline.
  • Self service machines stand in the Departures Terminal. They print what you need to board, without an airline or airport member of staff involved.
  • Self service is not the same as checking in online. If you used a machine and you have a hold bag, that bag is handed in afterwards at a desk marked Drop off.
  • Departure boards carry the airline, the flight number, the destination, the scheduled departure time and the state of the flight, so the desk is found from the board rather than from a fixed number.

What the airport will not tell you about bags

  • Weight, size, the charge for anything over the allowance, what counts as cabin and what counts as hold, and which objects may travel in the cabin at all: the airport states that all of these belong to the airline and tells you to ask the airline before you travel.
  • That is worth reading twice, because it is the opposite of how most travellers assume an airport works.

Security, and the two litre rule most people have not heard of

  • Laptops, tablets and other large electrical items come out of the cabin bag and go through separately.
  • Liquids, aerosols and gels also come out of the bag and are screened on their own.
  • At Henri Coandă, containers of liquid, aerosol or gel up to two litres are allowed in cabin baggage. The operator publishes the same allowance at Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu.
  • This applies only to passengers whose journey starts at that airport. A passenger in transit or transfer does not get it.
  • Security staff may still ask for a container to be taken out or opened for a closer look, and anything beyond the allowance travels in the hold.
  • Liquids bought after security travel in a sealed tamper evident bag, with the receipt visible inside it.

Landing and finding your bag

  • Henri Coandă has six reclaim belts, and the monitors say which belt belongs to your flight.
  • Trolleys in the reclaim area are free and self service.
  • Check that the bag you lift off the belt is yours.
  • If something is wrong with a bag, the desk you want is the lost baggage or baggage irregularity office of the airline you flew with, not an airport office.

Travelling with reduced mobility

  • Assistance is asked for when the ticket is booked, not on the day. The operator says this is what lets the boarding agent be told in advance and a qualified person be assigned to you.
  • The definition the airport uses is wide: a sensory or mobility impairment, a physical condition, age, illness or another cause.
  • The public car parks have designated spaces. A ramp leads from the car park to the Departures Terminal, and the car park at Arrivals has lifts.
  • Terminal doors are automatic.

Aeroportul Internațional Avram Iancu Cluj

Published by Aeroportul Internațional Avram Iancu Cluj at https://www.airportcluj.ro.

Read at operator sourceL2

How early to be there

  • The airport publishes two figures and they do not quite agree. Its departure checklist asks you to be at check in three hours before departure so travel documents can be checked. Elsewhere on the same page it says airlines recommend arriving two or three hours before the flight, to cover check in, document control, security and customs together.
  • Check in happens at the desk assigned to your flight, where the hold bag is taken and a seat is given.
  • The airport states plainly that a passenger who is not there in time for check in can lose the right to travel on that flight.

Security here is not security in Bucharest

  • Cluj says that because of new security equipment it has bought, passengers may keep electronic items in cabin baggage and do not have to take them out at the security check.
  • Henri Coandă asks for the opposite: laptops, tablets and other large electrical items come out and go through separately.
  • So the habit you form at one Romanian airport is the wrong habit at the other. Both are stating their own rule, and both rules are current.
  • Everyone travelling, and all of their baggage, goes through the security check.
  • Cluj does not publish a liquid allowance of its own on this page. It points instead to the list of items forbidden in cabin and hold baggage kept by the Romanian Intelligence Service at https://www.sri.ro/articole-interzise-in-avion

Bags, and who decides

  • How many bags, what size and what weight is each airline’s own policy, and it changes with the ticket you bought.
  • The airline may check the weight and the size of a cabin bag before you board.
  • The airport publishes none of these limits itself, because they are not the airport’s to set.

Customs and what you may carry

  • Customs formalities on entering or leaving the country are published at https://www.customs.ro
  • The customs office at the airport answers on 0264 307 578.
  • For guide limits on alcohol, tobacco and cash inside the EU, the airport points at the European Commission’s own page for citizens.

The Entry Exit System, if you are not an EU citizen

  • The European Union is replacing the passport stamp with a digital record at its external borders, for travellers who are not citizens of the EU, the EEA or Switzerland.
  • On the first crossing, passport data, a photograph and fingerprints are recorded. After that the system keeps the date and place of each entry and exit automatically, and any refusal of entry.
  • Cluj asks non EU passengers to allow extra time at that first crossing, because the biometrics have to be taken.
  • For EU citizens the procedure does not change.
  • The airport says the change is being introduced progressively, so it tells travellers to check the current position before flying. The official page is https://travel-europe.europa.eu/en/ees

Aeroportul Internațional Traian Vuia Timișoara

Published by Aeroportul Internațional Traian Vuia Timișoara at https://www.aerotim.ro.

Read at operator sourceL2

How early to be there

  • Two and a half hours before the scheduled time of the flight, which is the airport’s own recommendation and sits between the two figures Cluj gives.

Bags, and who decides

  • The airline tells you the maximum allowed for hold and for cabin baggage.
  • How many bags, the maximum dimensions, and the price for anything over those limits is each airline’s own decision. The airport says so in as many words and publishes no figure of its own.

Security, and what counts as a liquid

  • Only a passenger holding a valid boarding card may enter the security filter area.
  • Anyone with a pacemaker is advised to tell the security staff before walking through the metal detector.
  • Coats, overcoats and jackets come off and are screened separately.
  • Laptops and other large electrical devices come out of the cabin bag and are screened separately. On this Timișoara is with București, not with Cluj.
  • All liquids are presented to the security staff for examination, and the airport publishes what it counts as a liquid. The list is wider than most travellers expect: water and other drinks, soups, syrups, creams, lotions and oils, perfumes, sprays, the contents of pressurised containers including shaving foam and deodorants, gels including hair gel and shower gel, pastes including toothpaste, and mixtures of liquid and solid.
  • The airport asks passengers to keep forbidden items out of both cabin and hold bags, and says plainly that this is what shortens the queue at the filters.

Assistance, and the border system

  • For travellers with a disability or reduced mobility, the airport points at Regulation (EC) No 1107/2006, which is the European rule that gives those rights.
  • Timișoara also carries its own notice that the Entry Exit System is coming into operation. What that system does is set out in the Cluj section above.

Aeroportul Internațional Sibiu

Published by Aeroportul Internațional Sibiu at https://www.sibiuairport.ro.

Read at operator sourceL2

How early to be there

  • The airport tells you to check the ticket or ask the airline first, then gives its own general guide: for international flights, be at the airport at least two hours before the scheduled departure.
  • Check in is in front of the main terminal entrance on the departures side. You can go to the airline’s own desk, or check in online where that airline allows it for your ticket.
  • The desk is found from the monitors, which carry the airline, the flight number, the destination, the scheduled departure time and the state of the flight: check in open, check in closed, boarding, delayed.
  • Having checked in online is not a reason to arrive late. The airport asks you to leave time in case a bag still has to be handed in.

The airport where the hundred millilitre rule ended

  • Since 5 September 2025 the hundred millilitre limit on liquids in cabin baggage no longer applies at Sibiu. Individual containers of up to two litres are allowed.
  • The airport gives its reason rather than just the rule: it has five fully working explosive detection machines of C3 standard for cabin baggage, installed on every passenger flow, so everyone passing through the airport gets the same conditions.
  • Electronic devices may stay in the cabin bag. Nothing has to be taken out at the security check.
  • That puts Sibiu with Cluj on electronics and against București and Timișoara. On liquids it goes further than București, because the two litre allowance there is only for passengers starting their journey at that airport, while Sibiu states the same conditions for everyone it screens.
  • What counts as a liquid, aerosol or gel here: cosmetics, pastes, lotions, creams, perfumes, drinks, mixtures of liquid and solid, pressurised containers, gels, and anything of a similar consistency.

At the security filter itself

  • Only a passenger holding a valid boarding card may enter the security filter area.
  • Anyone with a pacemaker is advised to tell the security staff before walking through the metal detector.
  • Coats, overcoats and jackets come off and are screened separately.
  • Passengers are asked to follow the security staff’s instructions at the filter, and to keep forbidden items out of both cabin and hold bags, which is what shortens the queue.

Aeroportul Internațional Brașov-Ghimbav

Published by Aeroportul Internațional Brașov-Ghimbav at https://brasovairport.ro.

Read at operator sourceL2

The hundred millilitre rule is still the rule here

  • Liquids, aerosols and gels travel in the cabin only in individual containers of at most a hundred millilitres, inside one transparent resealable plastic bag of at most one litre, fully closed. The bag measures 20 by 20 centimetres or 15 by 25, and a passenger is allowed one of them.
  • A container larger than a hundred millilitres is refused even when it is only part full.
  • Liquids needed during the journey for medical use or a special dietary need are allowed, on production of a certificate.
  • This is the far end of the range from Sibiu, which dropped the hundred millilitre limit in September 2025, and from București, which allows two litres to passengers starting their journey there. Four airports in one country, three different answers. Each operator publishes its rule as the rule at its own filters, so the one to read is the one for the airport you are actually leaving from.

What counts as a liquid, in unusual detail

  • Brașov publishes a concrete list of examples, and the detail is the useful part, because most of it is food and cosmetics that nobody thinks of as liquid.
  • Craiova publishes the same list, nearly item for item. Two operators agreeing this closely points to a common Romanian source rather than one airport’s own idea, which makes the list more reliable, not less.
  • Cosmetics: toothpaste, hair gel, perfume, shaving foam, shampoo and conditioner, face and body cream, hair mask, hairspray, hair mousse, sprays of any kind, liquid foundation, mascara, liquid lipstick.
  • Drinks: soft drinks, alcoholic drinks, syrups, water.
  • Food: soup, oil, honey including honey that has crystallised, yoghurt, sour cream, hummus, mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, cream cheese, aubergine and roe salads, protein shakes, jam, compote, and liquid whipped cream.
  • The test the airport gives is consistency: pastes, lotions, creams, mixtures of liquids, the contents of pressurised containers, and anything of a similar consistency.

What may not board at all

  • The published list runs from firearms and their component parts, including toy and imitation guns that could be taken for real ones, through to explosives and pyrotechnics: detonators, fuses, fireworks, flares, smoke bombs, dynamite, gunpowder and plastic explosive.
  • It also names the things that catch ordinary travellers out: pressurised containers holding flammable gas, nitrate based fertilisers, acetone, paint thinner, fuel, technical and surgical spirit, and lighter fuel of the Zippo kind.
  • Beyond that list the airport says some items are accepted only if the airline’s own representative agrees, so the final word on a borderline object is the airline’s, not the airport’s.

Aeroportul Internațional Mihail Kogălniceanu Constanța

Published by Aeroportul Internațional Mihail Kogălniceanu Constanța at https://www.mk-airport.ro.

Read at operator sourceL2

The desk is not always open

  • This is the thing to know about a small airport, and Constanța is the one that publishes it plainly: each airline’s ticketing and check in desk has its own opening hours, and on most days of the week it is closed.
  • On the day these pages were read, one carrier’s desk was open on three days and shut on four, and another’s on three different days. The pattern matters more than the timetable, and the timetable itself changes, so read the current one on the operator’s own page before you plan a trip to the airport for anything other than a flight.
  • Check in means going to your airline’s desk, where the bag is registered, handed over for screening and then loaded.

A rule the other airports do not state

  • Photography and filming are prohibited inside the airport. Constanța says so directly, and none of the other Romanian operators we have read say it at all.
  • Luggage may not be left unattended anywhere in the public areas, not even for a few seconds.
  • Do not accept a parcel or bag from anyone else, whatever reason they give.

Security and assistance

  • Passengers and baggage are screened before boarding, using X ray machines, fixed and portable metal detectors and explosive detectors. Where the situation calls for it the check can also be done by hand.
  • Assistance for reduced mobility is requested from the airline when the flight is booked, and at the latest forty eight hours before flying. That is a firmer deadline than București states, and it is the airline that arranges it, not the airport.

Aeroportul Internațional Ștefan cel Mare Suceava

Published by Aeroportul Internațional Ștefan cel Mare Suceava at https://aeroportsuceava.ro.

Read at operator sourceL2

The hundred millilitre rule, stated as the European one

  • Liquids in cabin baggage go in containers of at most a hundred millilitres, inside one transparent resealable bag of no more than one litre per passenger.
  • Suceava is the operator that explains where the rule comes from: it presents it as the European rule in force since 6 November 2006 at airports across the EU, Norway, Iceland and Switzerland, and says it applies until further notice.
  • That is worth holding next to Sibiu, which dropped the hundred millilitre limit in September 2025 on the strength of new screening equipment. Both statements are current, and both are each operator’s own. Suceava stands with Brașov, Sibiu and Cluj stand on the other side.
  • The limit applies to departures from EU airports whatever the destination.

What the limit does not touch

  • Hold baggage is unaffected. The rule is about the cabin only.
  • Medicines and products required by a special diet, including baby food, are allowed in cabin baggage for use during the journey. You may be asked to show that you need them.
  • Liquids bought after the security point are allowed, and the limit does not apply to them.

Aeroportul Internațional Oradea

Published by Aeroportul Internațional Oradea at https://aeroportoradea.ro.

Read at operator sourceL2

The operator that names the regulation

  • Oradea keeps the hundred millilitre limit, in a resealable transparent bag of at most one litre that closes properly and holds the containers comfortably.
  • What makes this page worth reading is that it cites the instrument: Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1998 of 5 November 2015, which lays down the detailed measures implementing the common basic standards on aviation security.
  • So across the register you now have three ways of stating the same kind of rule. Oradea gives the regulation, Suceava gives the date it came into force, and Sibiu gives the equipment that let it change. None of them is wrong, and only the operator you are flying from is the one that binds you.

At the filter

  • Large electrical items come out of the cabin bag and are presented separately.
  • Liquids, aerosols and gels also come out of the bag before screening and are checked apart from everything else.
  • The airport says its security staff work alongside the Romanian Intelligence Service, the Border Police, the customs office, the air transport police and the gendarmerie, and that the measures are matched to the current level of threat rather than fixed.

Aeroportul Internațional Craiova

Published by R.A. Aeroportul Internațional Craiova at https://aeroportcraiova.ro.

Read at operator sourceL2

The list of what counts as a liquid

  • Craiova publishes the same detailed account of what counts as a liquid that Brașov publishes, nearly item for item, so the food and cosmetics listed under Brașov above apply here too.
  • Craiova adds one item Brașov does not name: cool box freezer packs, whether they hold gel or liquid.
  • The operator says the list is not exhaustive and asks you to judge anything it does not name against the same criteria.

One hundred millilitres, and the size of the bag

  • Each container holds at most 100 ml. A larger container is refused even when it is only part full, which is the rule most often argued about at the tray.
  • The containers go into one transparent, resealable plastic bag of at most one litre, closed completely.
  • Craiova is the only operator of the thirteen read here that publishes the size of that bag: 20 by 20 cm, or 15 by 25 cm.
  • One passenger is allowed one bag.
  • Liquids for medical use or for a special dietary need are allowed. A letter from a doctor may help, and the operator says plainly that it is not required.
  • Liquid food for babies is allowed.
  • Anything bought after security stays sealed in its tamper evident bag with the receipt visible inside. Breaking the seal ends the exemption.

What Craiova asks you not to do

  • Do not wrap your cabin bag in protective film. Security may need to open it, and the film comes off either way.
  • Do not wrap gifts you are carrying in the cabin. You can be asked to open them at the check.
  • Do not carry packages or items handed to you by other people.
  • Do not leave a bag unattended anywhere in the terminal, and do not leave it in the care of someone else.
  • Do not make jokes about security subjects. The operator states this as a rule rather than as advice.

At the metal detector

  • Laptops and other electronic equipment come out of the cabin bag for the check.
  • Craiova states flatly that you cannot pass security with a container over 100 ml. It publishes no local exception of the kind Bucharest does.
  • If the arch alarms, further checks are compulsory. The arch also raises alarms that are not about metal.
  • Some passengers are selected for extra checks at random rather than for any reason connected to them.
  • A passenger who cannot go through the arch can be checked by hand, by a detector for traces of explosive substances, or by both.
  • Shoes and belts with metal in them are better taken off before the arch, and so is anything you were asked to remove on an earlier flight.

Travelling with reduced mobility

  • Ask for assistance when the ticket is reserved rather than on the day, so the person responsible for boarding is told in advance and a qualified member of staff is assigned to you.
  • Craiova uses the same definition as București, sensory or mobility impairment, a physical condition, age, illness or another cause, and then names two groups that no other operator of the thirteen read here names: people who are very tall, and people who are overweight.
  • The public car parks have designated spaces.
  • A lift serves the upper floor of the terminal, with its control panel set at a height a seated passenger can reach, and there are toilets built for wheelchair use.

Aeroportul Internațional „George Enescu” Bacău

Published by Aeroportul Internaţional George Enescu Bacău at https://www.bacauairport.ro.

Read at operator sourceL2

When to arrive, an actual number

  • Bacău publishes a time, which Bucharest deliberately does not: two to three hours before an international flight, and at least one hour before a domestic one.
  • It repeats the same figures on its check in page, while still saying that the closing time itself varies by airline and remains the airline’s to state.
  • A passenger who does not present in time for check in can lose the right to travel on that flight. The operator says this plainly rather than leaving it implied.

The bag that is weighed and the bag that is measured

  • At the desk you hand over hold baggage to be weighed and you also present the cabin bag, to be checked against the weight and size limits of your airline. Bacău is explicit that the cabin bag is looked at here, not only at the gate.
  • Hold baggage passes into the custody of the airline at that moment and is given an identification tag.
  • The operator recommends writing your name, your address and a telephone number on the hold bag itself.
  • You are entitled to one cabin bag, within whatever limits the airline and the type of ticket set.

Two operators, two regulations

  • Bacău keeps the hundred millilitre limit, in one transparent resealable bag of at most one litre, closed completely, with the items fitting easily inside.
  • It names Regulamentul de punere in aplicare (UE) nr. 246/2013, which amended Regulamentul (UE) nr. 185/2010, and it publishes that text as a file you can download rather than only citing it.
  • Oradea, further up this page, names Regulamentul (UE) 2015/1998 for the same rule. Two Romanian operators state the same limit and point at different instruments for it, so a reader who wants the source rather than the rule should know which one they are following.

What happens to a prohibited item

  • Bacău is the only operator of the thirteen read here that says what becomes of an item you cannot take. If it was neither checked into the hold nor handed to the airline, it is left in boxes kept for the purpose and destroyed mechanically under the airport procedures in force.
  • Leaving baggage unattended in the public areas of the airport is prohibited. The operator adds that you should not leave it even for a few seconds.
  • Do not accept any parcel or bag from another person, whatever reason is given for the request.
  • For goods bought in the transit area, keep the receipt or invoice to show at a security check if you fly on from another airport. If they are sold in special sealed packaging, leave that packaging closed until the final destination.

Assistance, with the waiting times written down

  • Bacău publishes quality standards for assistance under Regulation (EC) 1107/2006 and ECAC Doc 30 Annex J, and it publishes them as waiting times rather than as promises. Iași and Maramureș publish the same figures from the same source, so this is a shared regulatory template and not a Bacău peculiarity.
  • Announced forty eight hours ahead, departing: 80 per cent of passengers wait under ten minutes, 90 per cent under twenty minutes, all under thirty minutes.
  • Arriving at the airport without giving notice, departing: 80 per cent under twenty five minutes, 90 per cent under thirty five minutes, all under forty five minutes.
  • On arrival, announced before the aircraft lands: 80 per cent under five minutes after the aircraft parks, 90 per cent under ten minutes, all under twenty minutes. Without notice, the same three figures become twenty, thirty and forty five minutes.
  • A medical room with staff on hand sits on the ground floor of the departures terminal.
  • If a passenger with a disability is unhappy with how the regulation is applied at Bacău, the handling agent has to provide the means to complain.

Aeroportul Internațional Iași

Published by Aeroportul Internațional Iași at https://www.aeroport-iasi.ro.

Read at operator sourceL2

Who to call, by name

  • Iași is the only operator of the thirteen read here that names the people you actually have to telephone rather than pointing at a department.
  • For anything lost inside the airport: the Border Police point, on +40 232 460 280 or at aero.iasi@mai.gov.ro.
  • For anything left on the aircraft, or a bag that did not arrive: the airline or the handling company. Iași names them. Menzies Aviation Iași at IAS.passenger@menziesaviation.com covers Wizz Air, Ryanair, Austrian Airlines, HiSky, flydubai and AnimaWings. TAROM is separate, at apiasi@tarom.ro.
  • For customs declarations and customs questions: the Iași customs office on +40 232 271 590, then option 4.
  • Petitions to the airport itself go to iasi@aeroport.ro.

What Iași declines to answer

  • Ticket prices, reservations, checking in, charges and the policies applied to passengers: Iași sends all of it to the airline, and says the official contacts and instructions are published on the airlines’ own sites.
  • That is a wider handover than București makes. București keeps checking in on its own pages and hands over only the baggage rules. Iași hands over checking in as well.

The assistance codes, published as codes

  • Iași is the only operator of the thirteen read here that publishes the codes you are meant to use when you buy the ticket, and asks you to pick the one that matches your needs.
  • WCHR is a passenger who can climb steps but cannot walk long distances. WCHS is a passenger who cannot climb steps. WCHC is a passenger who can neither walk nor climb steps.
  • BLND is severe sight loss or blindness. DEAF is severe hearing loss. DPNA is an intellectual disability where assistance is needed.
  • Tell the airline or the travel agent when you buy the ticket, or at the latest forty eight hours before the flight. Iași explains that this notice exists under Regulation (EC) 1107/2006 so that both the airline and the airport’s assistance provider know in advance.
  • The operator also publishes a video guide to the assistance service.

The same waiting times as Bacău and Maramureș, and why

  • Iași publishes the same quality standards as Bacău and Maramureș, figure for figure, because all three take them from Article 9 of Regulation (EC) 1107/2006 and ECAC Doc 30 Annex J.
  • Announced forty eight hours ahead, departing: 80 per cent wait under ten minutes, 90 per cent under twenty, all under thirty.
  • Arriving without notice, departing: 80 per cent under twenty five minutes, 90 per cent under thirty five, all under forty five.
  • On arrival, announced before landing: 80 per cent under five minutes after the aircraft parks, 90 per cent under ten, all under twenty. Without notice: twenty, thirty and forty five.
  • Where two operators publish the same numbers, this page says so. The point of reading each operator separately is that it shows both the disagreements and the agreements.

A warning you will not find at any other Romanian airport

  • Iași publishes a warning about onward transport to the Republic of Moldova. Use only authorised transport operators, do not take up offers from unauthorised carriers, and check that the operator holds the authorisations required.
  • The operator names the consequences it has in mind: financial penalties, sanctions, or legal liability, applied either by the airport or by the competent public authorities.
  • No other operator of the thirteen read here publishes anything of the kind.

Aeroportul Internațional Transilvania Târgu Mureș

Published by Aeroportul Internațional Transilvania Târgu Mureș at https://aeroportultransilvania.ro.

Read at operator sourceL2

There is nowhere to leave a bag

  • Târgu Mureș states plainly that the airport has no temporary baggage storage service. If you are carrying something you cannot take through the check, there is no left luggage counter to fall back on.
  • Leaving baggage unattended in the public areas is prohibited, and the operator adds that you should not leave it even for a few seconds.
  • Do not accept any parcel or bag from another person, whatever reason is given.
  • Whether your cabin bag is allowed at all depends on its size and on your airline. The operator says to contact the airline for that, and says the airline can give you every answer it cannot.

The prescription, where Târgu Mureș and Craiova part company

  • Medicines and substances for a special diet, including baby food, are allowed in the cabin for use during the journey. Târgu Mureș then says you will be asked for the prescription.
  • Craiova allows the same category and says a letter from a doctor may be useful but is not required.
  • Same country, same journey, two different answers about the piece of paper. If your route touches Târgu Mureș, carry it.

At the checkpoint

  • One hundred millilitres per container, in one transparent resealable plastic bag, no more than one litre per passenger.
  • Present every liquid you are carrying to the security operator for examination at the checkpoint rather than waiting to be asked.
  • Take off your jacket or overcoat. They are screened separately. Târgu Mureș is the only operator of the thirteen read here that says so.
  • Computers, laptops and other electrical equipment come out of the cabin bag and are scanned on their own.
  • Screening uses X ray equipment, fixed and hand held metal detectors and explosive detectors, and can be carried out by hand where the situation calls for it.

Duty free bought outside the EU

  • Liquids bought at duty free shops at airports outside the EU can be carried on board if they meet the EU requirements. The operator uses transit through Budapest as its worked example.
  • If they are sold in special sealed packaging, do not open it before the security check, or the contents can be taken from you.
  • On a transfer inside the EU, keep the packaging closed until the security check at the transfer airport, or at the last one if you transit more than once.
  • These are in addition to whatever fits in the one litre bag, not counted against it.
  • Liquids in hold baggage are not restricted by any of this. The operator says the rules apply to cabin baggage only.

Aeroportul Internațional Maramureș

Published by Aeroportul Internațional Maramureș at https://aimm.eu.

Read at operator sourceL2

The operator that does not answer in its own voice

  • Maramureș publishes no security guidance of its own. Every one of its five headings, security screening, prohibited articles, liquid restrictions, useful information and before you reach the airport, is a link out to the Romanian Intelligence Service at https://www.sri.ro, the authority responsible for screening at Romanian airports.
  • That is the finding, not a gap in our reading. Asked what the rule is, Maramureș points at the state rather than restating it.
  • It is a defensible choice and the opposite of what the other twelve of the thirteen read here do. It also means that if the national pages change, what Maramureș tells you changes with them, without the airport touching anything.

Assistance, described step by step

  • On assistance Maramureș is the most detailed of the thirteen read here. It lists what the service actually does rather than promising that it exists.
  • Accompaniment from arrival at the airport to the information desk and to the other points a passenger needs, and to the check in desk.
  • Transfer from your own wheelchair to the airport wheelchair where that applies, with your own then handed over as hold baggage.
  • Registering and handing over baggage, then the walk from the desk to the aircraft through border, customs and security formalities.
  • Boarding, the walk from the aircraft door to the assigned seat, storing and retrieving cabin baggage, and the same in reverse on arrival.
  • On arrival, from the seat to the door, off the aircraft, through border and customs to the baggage hall, and from there to the point where you are being met.
  • Connecting flights in transit, with assistance in the terminal and operational areas, and accompaniment to the toilets.

What you have to do, and what is in the terminal

  • Ask for special assistance from the moment the ticket is reserved. The agent responsible for boarding is then told in advance what kind of assistance is needed, and a qualified person is assigned to you.
  • The public car parks have designated spaces, and the terminal doors are automatic.
  • Toilets built for wheelchair use are in the public area of the international departures and transit terminal and in the international arrivals terminal.
  • Emergency medical calls are answered by specialist medical staff.

The same waiting times again

  • Maramureș publishes the same quality standards as Bacău and Iași, under Article 9 of Regulation (EC) 1107/2006 and ECAC Doc 30 Annex J.
  • Announced forty eight hours ahead, departing: 80 per cent wait under ten minutes, 90 per cent under twenty, all under thirty.
  • Turning up without notice, departing: twenty five, thirty five and forty five minutes.
  • On arrival, announced before landing: five, ten and twenty minutes after the aircraft parks. Without notice: twenty, thirty and forty five.
  • Three operators, one set of numbers. That is what a shared European standard looks like when each airport publishes it separately.

Open the register entry

The two that are not here, and why

13 of the 15 airports in the register have an entry above. The other two were read on the same day as the rest, and neither could be written up honestly.

Satu Mare publishes a page called Securitate Aeroportuară at https://www.aeroportulsatumare.ro. Its body is a placeholder rather than content, and the most recent passenger document linked from the site is a PDF from November 2019. There is nothing to read at the operator’s own source, and the operator’s own source is the only one this page uses.

Delta Dunării Tulcea does have an operator site, at https://aeroportul-tulcea.ro. Its page for passengers and visitors carries one press release about an exercise held in June 2025, and its facilities page is empty. No rule, no allowance and no procedure is published there for a traveller to read.

Both get an entry the day their operator publishes something to read. The register is the place to start for those, and how we verify explains what a reading has to satisfy before it appears here.

We would like to use Google Analytics to see which pages people read, so we know what to write next. It sets two cookies, and nothing loads until you choose. We do not advertise, we do not sell anything, and we do not share what we measure. Saying no changes nothing about what you can read here.
