Mihail Kogălniceanu International Airport (IATA: CND, ICAO: LRCK) is located approximately 26 kilometers north of Constanța, the main city on Romania's Black Sea coast. Named after the 19th-century Romanian statesman and historian Mihail Kogălniceanu, the airport serves as the primary air gateway to the Dobrogea region and the popular seaside resorts of the Romanian Riviera. The airport handles significant seasonal traffic, particularly during summer months when tourists flock to nearby Black Sea resorts such as Mamaia, Eforie Nord, and Neptun. It operates both civilian and military functions, sharing its infrastructure with a Romanian Air Force base. TAROM and several low-cost carriers, including Wizz Air and Ryanair, have operated routes here. While not among Romania's busiest airports year-round, it plays a crucial economic role for the tourism industry of the Constanța region. The facility has undergone modernization efforts to improve passenger capacity and services.
