The airline Wizz Air wants to cancel air traffic to Chisinau in the future. This is justified with the concerns of a Russian attack that could involve the Moldovan capital.
From March 14, no flights will be operated to the Moldovan capital Chisinau. The airline informed those affected on Monday. Moldova, as the affected state, is trying to counteract this cancellation with all means by trying to guarantee the protection of its airspace.
Concerns about a Russian attack are heightened by the presence of Russian soldiers in the breakaway region of Moldova, Transnistria. Russia accuses the Ukrainians of planning an attack on these troops. Ukrainian President Zelensky, however, denies the accusations and confirms that these statements are untrue. "We respect Moldova's sovereignty," said Zelensky.
For the Moldovan and Ukrainian population, Wizz Air in Chisinau is canceled for the time being. However, he plans to offer more flights from the Romanian Iasi instead. However, some routes will be paused without replacement.
