Wizz Air Abu Dhabi, the low-fare national airline of the UAE, and the second largest airline in Abu Dhabi, has started a thrice-weekly service between Abu Dhabi and Chisinau, the capital of Moldova, that is known for its historic sites.

The service will operate on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, providing affordable, hassle-free, point-to-point travel for tourists and residents in the UAE, Moldova and across the region.

Tickets are on sale on Wizz Air website and app, and available in the Arabic language.

Wizz Air has also expanded its winter schedule, adding 40% more flights on its most popular destinations. Travellers can now enjoy more flexibility and convenience while saving more on their travel, the airline said.

Tamara Vallois, Head of Commercial of Wizz Air Abu Dhabi, said: “We are delighted to inaugurate our first flight to Chisinau, an affordable city of spectacular natural beauty and incredible history, as we reaffirm our commitment to growing our ever-expanding network throughout the region.

Our enhanced winter schedule will enable travellers from all backgrounds to benefit from our incredibly low fares with a convenient and tailored product.

“Wizz Air is committed to carrying the flag of ultra-low-cost travel and enabling its customers to travel to their favourite destinations at the best value. We look forward to seeing you on board our aircraft and sharing our love of travel soon.”

Nathalie Jongma, VP of Aviation Development at Abu Dhabi Airports, said: “Our first year at Zayed International Airport (AUH) has exceeded expectations, thanks to the strong support of airline partners like Wizz Air.

“Not only has AUH been recognised as the fastest-growing airport in the Middle East in terms of international seat capacity (Official Airline Guide), but we have also seen a robust YTD increase in passenger traffic quarter-on-quarter.

“We are excited to continue expanding our network and connecting Abu Dhabi like never before, offering passengers more travel options and convenient access to new destinations.”

Chisinau is known for its warm hospitality, stunning landscapes and vibrant culture.

Adventurous travellers of all ages can explore historical sites such as the iconic Stephen the Great Monument and the tranquil Valea Morilor Park, delve into Moldova’s diverse cultural heritage and have a taste of local life, at the bustling Piata Centrala, where they can enjoy the rich culinary traditions.

Situated on the Bic River, Chisinau boasts top tourist attractions for adventure lovers, with 23 lakes and one of the highest proportions of natural green spaces of any city in Europe.

The national airline recently announced the expansion of WIZZ MultiPass, a pioneering and innovative flight subscription service that allows frequent travellers to travel from the UAE every month and explore multiple destinations while saving more.

WIZZ MultiPass enables passengers to lock in a fixed price for tickets and baggage for the entire year. Passengers can save up to 40% on tickets to popular destinations using the ticket-only fare.

Also, passengers can book tickets with confidence, thanks to WIZZ Flex, which allows them to change their flight up to three hours before departure without any fee and receive 100% of the fare immediately reimbursed in airline credit.
