Financial Difficulties Mean Air Moldova Has Suspended Flights

Air Moldova has faced financial difficulties for several years and has been trying to restructure its debts and improve its financial position. The pandemic and the resulting travel restrictions have had a significant impact on the airline’s financial situation. Air Moldova operates flights to several destinations in Europe and Asia, including Italy, Russia, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.

The suspension of Air Moldova’s flights is likely to have a significant impact on the country’s economy, as the airline is one of the largest employers in the aviation sector. The government has expressed its concern about the situation and is working with the airline to find a solution.
