Marculesti Aerodrome was putting into operation in

1957 like a first class military aerodrome

with 265, 2295 ha total area of security zone.

In 1986 was made the capital repair of runway, because,

over the years, it has been deteriorated.

About 2000, the Marculesti AFB was,

without exaggeration,

in a disastrous situation.

Because of difficult living conditions (without heat, water, light),

the flight and technical staff, not seeing any perspective,

began to leave the ranks of National Army,

the social climate being strained to the maximum.

By Parliament’s Decision № 678-XV from 23.11.2001

was examined the possibility

to reorganize the airport Marculesti into an

airport with double destinations.

To put into execution the Parliament’s Decision the Government

adopted the Decision № 444 from 11 April 2002

regarding

the airport’s reorganization into airport

with common layout of military and civil aviation,

authorizing the Ministry of Defense

to found the State Enterprise ”Marculesti International Airport”.

As a result, the enterprise was created

by order of Defense Minister № 18 from 29.01.2004,

thus coming out the possibility to obtain necessary financial sources

for infrastructure’s development, maintenance and modernization,

aircrafts’ restoration and maintenance in flight conditions and training

of flight and technical staff for National Army.

During its activity, the Enterprise performed a lot of works that offered the

possibility to solve the following problems:

the airport’s territory is isolated with ferroconcrete wall on the perimeter

with 2m height;

the security zone is isolated;

the airport’s objects are gasified and secured with water centralized

from an artesian well through autonomous pipe;

The existing potential, the Infrastructure of “International Airport Marculesti” allow

to perform the CARGO transports, whenever a need arises, it can perform

passenger transport and fully suits to the requirements to be used and like a

reserve airport.

The technical-material base and the certified staff’s effective of the Enterprise

allow to prepare the flight and technical maintenance.

at the same time, the humanitarian actions

Due to positive financial results, the company had repaired the runway,

buildings, roads, special techniques, bringing the object to certification

as an international airport. Therefore, the Marculesti Airport was certificated

as international on December 2007.

Note that everything was accomplished only from financial resources obtained

by the company.

Due to its favourable geographical location (next to the EU) and developed

infrastructure, the enterprise's staff came with the initiative of creating The Free
