Siliștea Gumești - Balaci Air Base Balaci-Siliștea Gumești Teleorman Constructed in the early 1950s under Soviet supervision, the airfield was transferred to the Romanian Air Force in 1953. Jet flying operations appear to have ceased in the early 1960s; however, the site continued to function as a military radio-location installation until approximately 1999.[6][7]
Someșeni (Helicopter) Air Base LRCL / – Cluj-Napoca, Someșeni Cluj Someșeni served as a helicopter base during the late Cold War and post-Cold War period at Cluj International Airport. The airfield hosted Escadrila 132 Elicoptere, which operated Mil Mi-8 transport helicopters and IAR-316B Alouette III helicopters, and later received IAR-330L Puma as part of its operational inventory. The squadron remained active through the 1990s, conducting transport and support missions in the region. As part of early-2000s restructuring and force consolidation, Escadrila 132 Elicoptere formally ceased activity on 31 May 2002, and its personnel and aircraft were reassigned to Câmpia Turzii, where they were incorporated into the helicopter formation that later became Escadrila 713 Elicoptere under the 71st Air Base. This marked the end of Someșeni's function as an operational RoAF helicopter location.[8][9][10]
19th Air Base Focșani Vrancea Functioned primarily as a Romanian Air Force training and liaison facility with the longest grass runway in the country. It hosted the 19th Aviation School and Liaison Group (Grupul 19 Aviație Școală Legătură). The unit was disbanded in 2002 due to force restructuring, with aircraft and personnel being reassigned.[11][12] On the night of 7 July 2022, residents of Focșani reported hearing low-flying military aircraft and observing what appeared to be an unplanned landing at the base. Local media subsequently confirmed that a C-130H/J military transport aircraft had landed in the middle of the night as part of joint military exercises conducted by the Israeli Defence Forces in Romania. According to reports, the aircraft’s arrival was connected to coordinated training activity in the region and was not part of the regular schedule of operations at Focșani.[13][14]
49th Air Base LRIC / – Ianca Brăila Opened in 1941 and expanded with appropriate fighter jet infrastructure from 1951. Operated various fighters from MiG-15 to the Romanian-made IAR-93 and IAR-99. Disbanded and closed in 2001; airfield subsequently transferred to Romanian Aeroclub and is now active as a civilian airfield.[15][16]
58th (Helicopter) Air Base LRSB / SBZ Sibiu Sibiu Also referred to as Turnișor, located at Sibiu International Airport. Hosted the 58th Helicopter Group with IAR-330H and IAR-316 helicopters. As part of the 2002 reorganization, the group was reorganized as a squadron and assigned to RoAF 71st Air Base. The site now hosts a new military unit.[17][18][19]
59th (Helicopter) Air Base LRTZ / – Tuzla Constanța Coastal air base active during the Cold War and post-1989 period, associated mainly with helicopter and maritime-support missions. Disbanded during early-2000s restructuring; the airfield is presently operated by the Romanian Naval Forces and for civilian use.[20]
60th (Helicopter) Air Base Tecuci Galați The RoAF traces the origins of the Aviation Training Center to the Tecuci, where personnel training was conducted from the interwar/early modern period into the early jet era. In the 1950s, the local aviation school received the name Școala Militară de Aviație „Aurel Vlaicu” and was later relocated to Boboc (or Ziliștea as it was known) in 1958.[21][22] As of September 2024, the infrastructure that remained was demolished.[23]
61st (Helicopter) Air Base LRTI / – Titu-Boteni Dâmbovița ICAO not in use. Boteni Air Base (commonly referred to as Titu) served RoAF from World War II to the early jet period with MiG-15 operations and later moving only to helicopter units consisting of IAR-330 and IAR-316. During the early 2000s force restructuring, the base was disbanded, marking the end of its military role. The airfield infrastructure was subsequently transferred and incorporated into the Renault Titu automotive testing facility.[24][25]
67th Air Base LRCV / CRA Craiova Dolj Functioned as air base until 2004 with the military site now being part of the Center for Research, Innovation and Flight Tests (Centrul de cercetare, inovare și încercări în zbor), also HQ for Avioane Craiova.[26]
73rd (Helicopter) Air Base LRCS / CSB Caransebeș Caraș-Severin Served as a jet fighter base from 1953, operating Yak-23 aircraft before fighter activity ceased in 1960. Reactivated in 1984 as a helicopter base, it later hosted the 73rd Helicopter Group until its disbandment in the early 2000s restructure. The airfield subsequently transitioned to civilian control, with use by IGAv and for multinational exercises.[27][28]
91st Air Base LRDS / – Caracal-Deveselu Olt ICAO not in use. Key interceptor base, constructed in 1952 and home to MiG-21F-13 fighters from 1962 as part of the 91st Fighter Aviation Regiment overlooking Romania’s southern airspace. Throughout the 1980s it hosted multiple squadrons operating night and day to protect national air defence. The base was disbanded in 2003 during Romanian Air Force restructuring as flying operations ended. In 2011 Romania and the United States agreed to establish a NATO ballistic missile defence facility on the site, and the Aegis Ashore system became operational in 2016, transforming Deveselu into one of NATO’s strategic missile defence installations, becoming the 99th Military Base Deveselu.[29][30]
94th (Helicopter) Air Base Alexeni Ialomița Developed in the mid-1950s into a major base with the Regimentul 94 Elicoptere (1965). The Romanian-made IAR-93 was first presented here. The base hosted various helicopters that were used by the RoAF and it was eventually disbanded in 2001 during force restructuring, with Mi-8 helicopters redistributed or being retired entirely; the airfield has since remained inactive pending redevelopment proposals from the civilian sector.[31][32][33]
