Wizz Air returns to Moldova: London, Rome, Milan flights resumed

Flights to London, Rome and Milan will resume from Chisinau, Moldova from 14 December. These flights were previously cancelled due to security concerns over the Russian-Ukrainian war.

The Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air terminated some flights from Chisinau, Moldova, citing security concerns back in March. As aviationweek.com reports, the safety of passengers and crew remained Wizz’s “No. 1 priority”, which is why it decided to cancel flights due to the war in the region.

Now, the carrier has announced that it would resume flights between London Luton Airport (LTN) and Chisinau International Airport (KIV), Moldova, simpleflying.com reports.

The airline will operate flights between London and Chisinau on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Ticket prices start from EUR 22.3 for the 2,180-kilometre journey.

At the same time, Wizz Air also stated that it would connect the Moldovan capital with Milan (Malpensa Airport) and Rome (Fiumicino International Airport). Both flights will operate twice a week, and the flights to the two Italian cities also start on 14 December, 2023. Two weekly services will be offered from Milan and Rome.

According to the Wizz statement, “it should be noted that these cities of strategic importance will offer passengers the opportunity to create convenient connections through other intermediate points as well.”

The return of the Hungarian low-cost airline to Moldova was welcomed by Moldovan Prime Minister Dorin Recean. According to him, Wizz Air’s return was a result of the government’s “constant efforts to ensure new international connections for all our citizens and to stimulate economic development.”

Wizz Air suspended its operations from Chisinau, citing security concerns of Moldova’s airspace in February 2023.
