Wizz Air Suspends All Moldova Flights Citing Airspace Security Risks
Wizz Air has announced it will suspend all flights to Chișinău, the capital of Moldova, starting from March 14. The Hungarian low-cost carrier cited growing security concerns and the "high, but not imminent" risk in the country's airspace as the primary reason. This decision is linked to the ongoing war in neighboring Ukraine, following recent incidents that included Russian missiles crossing Moldovan airspace. Moldova's Civil Aviation Authority described the decision as "sudden and regrettable," while assuring that flights by other airlines would continue safely.
