Direct flights to Tel Aviv will be operated once a week, on Tuesday, as from June 5, 2018 and twice a week, on Tuesday and Friday, as from July 6, IPN reports.

According to the Government’s press service, the decision was taken during Prime Minister Pavel Filip’s visit to Israel on November 8-10, 2017. The launch of the direct flight became possible after the Government of Moldova eliminated the limitations on the number of airlines that can operate flights between Moldova and Israel.

Thus, the second largest airline in Israel, ARKIA Israeli Airlines, offered to operate the Chisinau – Tel Aviv flight.
