Iasi Airport is located on the Trans-European Transport Central Network (TEN-T CORE), regulated by Regulations (EU) 1316/2013 & 1315/2013 and which aims to create a complete transport network between Member States at common standards. This objective has also been transposed into the national transport strategy, defined by the Master General Plan of Transport, and aims to facilitate the movement of people and goods between EU member states and those adjacent to the Eastern border. In these terms, the general objective of the project is the modernisation and development of Iasi Airport in order to increase efficiency and attractiveness for users, in the context of efficient connection to the airport points of community and international traffic, by: • Increasing operating capacity (infrastructure and facilities) to meet market demand. • Increase in the number of passengers processed. The project represents a stage in achieving the development strategy of Iasi County, whose first strategic objective is “Improving infrastructure, connectivity and accessibility” and has as a priority direction “Development of intermodal transport systems for passengers and goods and providing intermodal logistics spaces”. (http://www.icc.ro/sites/default/files/files/strategie_dezvoltare/2014/8a.pdf). The Large Infrastructure Operational Programme, Priority Axis 2, Specific Objective 2.3. promotes actions that contribute to the modernisation of airports located on the TEN-T network, contributing to the achievement of the objectives of increasing regional accessibility and mobility. The project proposed for financing falls within the category of type A projects (extension of movement areas, accompanied by environmental protection measures). The implementation of the investment project optimises the use of the existing infrastructure (take-off-land check) and improves the efficiency of its use and allows to increase the number of passengers embarked/disembarked. At the same time, the implementation of this project will have the implicit effect of improving the environmental conditions by: • Reduction of unit emissions of aircraft in the running phase. • Increase the operating capacity of the runway by 40 % by reducing runway distances and runway clearance time. • Improving the quality of the discharged waste water, by constructing a retention basin for collecting water from the de-icing/antigivation of aeroplanes and a hydrocarbon separator for water treatment before being discharged into the natural emissary. The measure aims to prevent water pollution during the exploitation period and the costs are highlighted in the cost-benefit analysis, representing 10.78 % of the total investment. The specific measures imposed for the execution period by Environmental Agreement no. 2/2019 do not have any costs highlighted in the cost-benefit analysis but are in the past
