Timișoara Traian Vuia International Airport (IATA: TSR, ICAO: LRTR) is the principal airport serving Timișoara, the third-largest city in Romania and the capital of Timiș County. Situated in the western part of the country near the borders with Hungary and Serbia, it functions as a key regional hub for both business and leisure travel. The airport is named after Traian Vuia, a Romanian inventor and aviation pioneer who is credited with designing and flying one of the earliest self-propelled heavier-than-air aircraft in 1906. The facility has undergone modernization efforts to accommodate growing passenger numbers, with connections to major European cities provided by several low-cost and full-service carriers. Timișoara gained international prominence as the European Capital of Culture in 2023, which helped boost tourism and air traffic through the airport. It handles scheduled, charter, and cargo flights, serving as an important economic asset for the Banat region.
