Alexeni is a commune in Ialomiţa County, Romania, some 65 km north-east of Bucharest, near the town of Urziceni.


Until 2001 a military helicopters base existed in the area. It has been nominated by the Minister of Transport Radu Berceanu as the location for Bucharest's new airport for low-cost flights (as the operational tariffs for Bucharest's current low-cost hub, Aurel Vlaicu Airport, are set to grow)[1]. However, some analysts consider the project unrealistic and doomed to fail due to the poor conditions of the infrastructure in the area[2].
