In 1938, Charles II of Romania, decreed the creation of Craiova Airport at the current position. From 1972 to 1989, the airport built: the waiting room for passengers, the emission center and the airport lounge protocol. Beginning in 1995, Craiova Airport was opened to traffic on domestic and international charter flights. While in 2007, were officially launched the company's flights Carpatair on the route Timisoara-Craiova, to destinations in Italy, Greece and Germany.
Situated at a distance of 7 km from the centre of Craiova city, along the Craiova-Bucuresti route, the airport serves the entire Oltenia region, being the closest airgate for the 5 counties: Dolj, Gorj, Mehedinti, Olt and Valcea.
