Wizz Air Suspends All Flights to Moldova Citing Airspace Security Risks
Wizz Air has announced the suspension of all its flights to and from Chișinău, the capital of Moldova, starting March 14. The airline cited concerns over the safety of the country's airspace, describing the risk as "elevated, but not imminent." This decision follows a period of heightened regional tension, including accusations from Moldova's government that Russia is plotting to destabilize the country. Moldova's civil aviation authority has called the decision regrettable, insisting that its airspace remains secure. Wizz Air is the first airline to announce such a suspension, offering affected passengers alternative flights or full refunds.
