At the same time, the expansion will bring increased frequencies on the existing Paris and Berlin routes, as well as new employment opportunities for pilots and cabin crew members, IPN reports.
The airline will extend the schedule of direct flights from Chisinau with the following destinations: Milan Bergamo and Bari in Italy, Athens in Greece, Billund in Denmark, Maastricht in the Netherlands and Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden in Germany.
According to the representatives of the company, Maastricht is a special destination that will be served exclusively from Chisinau in the Wizz Air network.
