The Government of the Republic of Moldova decided to initiate negotiations with the Government of the United States on the draft agreement on air transport. The group of negotiators includes six persons and is headed by Serghei Bucataru, Secretary of State on transport at the Ministry of Economy and Infrastructure, IPN reports.

According to the authorities, the given agreement will facilitate investments and the provision of air services. In the future, the created legal framework could lead to the development of air traffic between Moldova and the U.S. Currently, no national airline operates flights to the U.S.

After the negotiations are completed and the agreement is signed, this will take effect when the signatory parties perform all the internal procedures for putting the document into practice.
