Moldova runs on a single international airport, Chișinău (KIV), about 13 km southeast of the capital, handling around 3 million passengers a year on Air Moldova, Wizz Air and FlyOne to the main European cities. A second airport at Bălți sees almost no commercial traffic. Aviation here has grown as the country has leaned closer to the EU, and a lot of the demand comes from the large Moldovan diaspora travelling to and from Western Europe.
Moldova is Europe's least-visited corner and not an EU or Schengen member, though it has held candidate status since 2022. Hotels near Chișinău Airport work for layovers or events in a capital that's changing quickly as accession talks move along.
