The Government has approved a Regular Air Services Agreement with the Swiss Federal General Council, drafted in Bern on April 4, 2019.
According to authorities, the Agreement will contribute to destination diversification from Chisinau International Airport. Moreover, it will facilitate Moldova’s access to west European air markets.
Statistical data shows an increase in the number of passengers to this destination. In 2017, about 17,000 passengers traveled from Chisinau to Geneva, Zurich, Basel or Bern, all of them on connecting flights.
A direct flight will essentially increase the number of passengers. It is initially planned to operate direct flights 2-3 times per week. Several airlines have already expressed their interest to operate these flights.
The agreement is valid for an unlimited period of time.
