According to Andras Rado, Head of Communications and Government Affairs at Wizz Air:

Wizz Air began its operations in Moldova in 2013, and opened its base in Chișinău in March 2017. During this time, the airline carried almost 4 million passengers. We are thrilled to resume our base operations and add more direct flights connecting Chișinău now with 16 destinations, underscoring our vision of growth. This development will provide nearly 91,000 additional seats, securing 374% capacity growth during the winter season for passengers traveling to and from Chișinău. Wizz Air is dedicated to providing convenient direct travel opportunities and fostering connections between Moldova and the rest of Europe and beyond. As we grow, we are proud to contribute to the Moldovan economy by creating jobs and enhancing connectivity for travellers.

Among the highlights are nonstop flights connecting Chișinău with major European cities such as Berlin, Bologna, and Paris Beauvais. A noteworthy addition is the new route to Nuremberg. The entire network spans 16 routes reaching nine countries, including existing flights to destinations like Abu Dhabi, Budapest, and Warsaw.

Commitment to Convenience and Growth

With fares starting at a mere €24.99, Wizz Air presents a viable option for visiting family and friends or enjoying a quick city escape. The airline plans to offer over 400,000 seats for the winter season to ensure ample availability for passengers through 2024.

The reopening of the Wizz Air operational base in Chișinău proves once again that our airport is becoming more and more attractive in the air transport industry. An air base means network expansion, new job opportunities at the local level for aviation and tourism, and the diversification of aeronautical activities, strengthening commercial relations between the Republic of Moldova and the European countries.
