On Monday (October 21, 2024), Wizz Air announced the reopening of their base in Chisinau, the capital of Moldova. For winter 2024/25, the carrier will offer direct flights from Chisinau to 16 destinations, including Berlin, Bologna, Brussels Charleroi, Dortmund, Memmingen, Paris Beauvais, and Verona, as well as new service to Nuremberg, and existing service to Abu Dhabi, Budapest, Milan, Venice, Vienna, Rome, London Luton, and Warsaw. With the reopening of the Moldova base, Wizz Air will add a new Airbus A320 to Chisinau Airport.
In Monday’s announcement, Wizz Air’s Head of Communications and Government Affairs, Andras Rado, said,
“Wizz Air began its operations in Moldova in 2013, and opened its base in Chisinau 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 Chisinau 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 Chisinau. 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.”
Also commenting on the base reopening, Chisinau International Airport’s General Director, Mr. Spoiala Sergiu, said,
“The reopening of the Wizz Air operational base in Chisinau 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.
“We are glad that negotiations with our partner Wizz Air brought successful results, and the reopening of the Wizz Air operational base at the Chisinau International Airport certainly represents an important step for the development of the airport and the area it serves, which allows us to offer our passengers greater choice, convenience, and affordable travel options, benefiting from extensive network of destinations and quality service.”
