Air Moldova was created on the 12th of January 1993, and from the very beginning modernised its work practices and increased its international standing in the aviation industry.
Air Moldova has always been the mainstay of Moldovan Civil Aviation. Its global view and outlook, together with a consistent search for improvement, has given a steady and positive progression over the years.
On the 19th of September 2004, Moldovan Civil Aviation celebrated its 60th anniversary. During the post war years, its fleet of 17 aircraft consisted of 15 PO-2 and 2 LI-2's.
In its first year of operation, regular flights were started to five regions within the republic, namely Tiraspol, Balti, Soroca, Lipcani and Orhei.
After almost 20 years, the first TU-134, AN-24 and cargo AN-26's arrived at Chisinau airport. This gave the opportunity for Moldovan aviation to expand its services to the major cities in the U.S.S.R, offering comfort and increased safety to the travelling public.
The number of passengers and the volume of cargo increased considerably, and together with the opening of a new air terminal on the 12th of October 1974, inaugurated a new era of Moldovan civil aviation.
At present Air Moldova operates 11 direct flights:
-
AMSTERDAM
- ATHENS
- BUCHAREST
- FRANKFURT
- ISTANBUL
- LISBON
- LARNACA
- MOSCOW
- PRAGUE
- ROMA
- VIENNA
which offer multiple connections through those cities.
On the 13 th of July, 2004 Air Moldova obtained the status of active member of the International Association of Air Transport (IATA).
When joining IATA, Air Moldova had to undergo audits in its operations, maintenance, flight safety and quality systems development. Personnel competence was also assessed to make sure that Air Moldova met the high standards set by this organisation.
As from 15 th of December 2004 Air Moldova has introduced its new product, our Frequent Flyer Loyalty Programme called – Air Moldova Club, which is based on the accumulation of Credit Miles on all scheduled flights operated by Air Moldova.
Air Moldova is always paying special attention to our passengers’ needs and wants, offering a high level of service. Due to this, Air Moldova was awarded the Grand Prix “Golden Mercury” at the Contest “The Best Trade Mark 2003” organised yearly by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Republic of Moldova. |
