The Cabinet approved the negotiation and signing of an agreement on regular air services with the Swiss Federal Council. Statistics show an increase in the number of passengers who travel by plane to cities in Switzerland. About 17,000 passengers were recorded during the past 12 months. All the flights are operated with stops, IPN reports.

The competent authorities of Moldova consider it is opportune to provide direct flights to Switzerland two-three times a week. The airline Air Moldova expressed its readiness to operate flights as from this December.

Moldova’s delegation that will negotiate the agreement will be led by Radu Beznic, director of the Civil Aviation Authority.
