**Alexeni** is a [commune](/source/Communes_of_Romania) in [Ialomița County](/source/Ialomi%C8%9Ba_County), [Muntenia](/source/Muntenia), [Romania](/source/Romania), some 65 km (40 mi) north-east of [Bucharest](/source/Bucharest), near the town of [Urziceni](/source/Urziceni). It is composed of a single village, Alexeni.

Until 2001 a [Romanian Air Force](/source/Romanian_Air_Force) [military helicopters](/source/Military_helicopters) unit was located at the nearby [Alexeni Airfield](/source/Alexeni_Airfield). In 2007, as the airfield was not used by the [Romanian Air Force](/source/Romanian_Air_Force) any longer, the former [Minister of Transport](/source/Ministry_of_Transport,_Constructions_and_Tourism_of_Romania) [Radu Berceanu](/source/Radu_Berceanu) suggested to use the location for Bucharest's new low-cost flights airport (as the operational tariffs for Bucharest's previous low-cost hub, [Aurel Vlaicu Airport](/source/Aurel_Vlaicu_Airport), were set to grow).[2] However, some analysts considered the project unrealistic and doomed to fail due to the poor conditions of the infrastructure in the area.[3] Eventually those plans were abandoned and all low-cost flights were moved in March 2012 at Bucharest main airport, the [Henri Coandă International Airport](/source/Bucharest_Henri_Coand%C4%83_International_Airport).
