Constanța Palazu Mare Seaplane Base, RO.
The Constanța Palazu Mare Seaplane Base (RO-0120) is a closed airport that holds significant historical importance for Romanian naval aviation.
The base was constructed between 1932 and 1933, becoming a modern seaplane base fully equipped for maneuvering seaplanes and rescue operations. It served as the headquarters for the Seaplane Flotilla, which played a crucial role in reconnaissance, anti-submarine, and convoy escort missions during World War II. The seaplane base at Palazu Mare was occupied by Soviet troops in 1944, and while the flotilla briefly moved, it returned to Palazu Mare by 1948. The last naval aviation structure, the 256th Hydroaviation Patrol, was disbanded on April 1, 1960, marking the closure of the seaplane base.
Currently, the site is recognized as the "former base of Romanian hydroaviation (1930 - 1960)". There are no OurAirports members based at or having visited the location.
