By Air

Most visitors arrive via Chișinău International Airport (RMO), which has direct flights to major European hubs such as London, Warsaw, Vienna and Bucharest. HiSky and TAROM are the primary carriers. The airport is modern and only 20 minutes from the city centre.

The only airport in the country is located in the capital, Chișinău. Booking early can provide access to more affordable flight tickets. The holiday season, covering June, July and August, is the period when demand for direct flights to Chișinău is highest, and ticket prices may increase. Promotional flight offers and early-booking opportunities can help secure better prices.
