About Moldavian Airlines:

Established in 1994, Moldavian Airlines was the first private airline in Moldova. It began operations in August 1994 and operated scheduled passenger flights both domestically and internationally. Moldavian Airlines was based at Chişinău International Airport and operated routes to Romania and Italy. The airline became a joint Swiss-Moldovan company in 1999 through a partnership with Carpatair, a regional Romanian airline.

Over the years, Moldavian Airlines faced fluctuations in passenger numbers, with a decline in passengers in 2008. Unfortunately, the airline ceased operations in 2014 and eventually shut down.

This was my first booking and I used Alternative Airlines twice on this trip. I must say by far the best online booking experience ever.

So easy to use and the payment options are very helpful when you need to book a ticket and you may not have the full amount at the moment. Really recommend Alternative Airlines to my clients and friends.

What a great way to be able to see my family back in South Africa. This is made possible since we can buy our tickets and pay it off over 4 months. With the price of flight tickets so high Alternative Airlines has been a literal lifesaver!
