As from September 15, the low-cost airline Wizz Air will operate flights to Copenhagen (Denmark), Dortmund and Memmingen (Germany), Brussels (Belgium) and Paris (France) from the Chisinau International Airport. In a news conference, Wizz Air said it decided to increase its fleet at the operational basis in Chisinau by an aircraft, IPN reports.

Petru Jardan, director general of Avia Invest that manages the airport, said already two planes that belong to Wizz Air will operate flights from the Chisinau International Airport. Details about the new flights and their frequency will be provided in the immediate period.

Minister of Economy and Infrastructure Kiril Gaburici said Wizz Air invested US$200 million in the Moldovan economy. Each new opened flight means greater competitiveness on the market, services of a higher quality and lower prices.

Wizz Air commercial director George Michalopoulos voiced hope that the passengers will exploit the new destinations Dortmund and Memmingen in Germany to which no direct flights have been provided until now. In Brussels, flights will also be operated from the Charleroi airport, not only from the national airport. Ticket prices vary between €19 and €99. The used aircraft are 4.5 years old on average.
