Sep 05, 2022 (newstodate): Bordering Ukraine and living through a troublesome period with threats and pressure from Russia, Moldova's civil aviation is severely affected.
   The country's main carrier, Air Moldova is now down to only some 40 weekly flights from Chisinau, compared to more than 130 in 2019, operating 44 weekly flights in September on 15 routes to destinations in 10 countries including France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Portugal, Romania, Turkey and the UK.
   This hurts the country's Chisinau Airport that is seeing traffic volumes down 60 percent, compared to 2019.
   On the positive side, Moldova's privately-owned LCC carrier FlyOne is amid a major expansion of its route network in summer 2022, especially targeting new EU markets.
   Within only two days in June, the carrier launched flights from Chisinau to Amsterdam, Dusseldorf, Nice as well as Yerevan in Armenia on June 15, adding flights from June 16 to Barcelona and Brussels.
   Already new routes have been launched this summer to Dublin, Frankfurt, Lisbon, London, Paris, Parma, Verona as well as to Istanbul and Tel Aviv.
