Wizz Air (W6, Budapest) says it has shifted all flights from its Chisinau, Moldova base to Iasi in Romania given the outbreak of war in neighbouring Ukraine. Romania’s second largest city is located a mere 100 kilometres west of the Moldovan capital.

According to the ch-aviation schedules module, the budget carrier serves the following destinations from Chisinau:

Barcelona El Prat, Spain
Basel/Mulhouse/Freiburg, FR, France
Berlin Brandenburg Int’l, Germany
Bologna, Italy
Brussels Charleroi, Belgium
Budapest, Hungary

Memmingen, Germany
Milan Bergamo, Italy
Paris Beauvais, France
Prague Václav Havel, Czechia

Given the uncertainty surrounding the duration of the Russo/Ukrainian conflict, the change in venue is currently valid through May 31, 2022.
