Air Moldova - Moldolvian Airlines
State airline Air Moldova was founded by
presidential decree of January 12, 1993. Air sub-units based in Chisinau airport
provided the basis for the airline. Thus the beginning of the company's
activity can be counted down from September 19, 1944, when the first unit of
transport aircrafts Po-2 arrived to Chisinau and Moldovan independent squadron
started to function. Aside from fifteen aircrafts of Po-2 type operating
domestic flights and serving in agriculture, at first there were two Li-2, which
operated flights to Moscow, some Ukrainian cities and Black Sea and Caucasus
summer resorts.
At the turn of millenniums situation took a turn for
the better. New air routes to European countries were opened. For the first time
in the last ten years the airline received new aircraft.
In 2001 modern airliners - Embraer 120 and Embraer
145 were taken on lease. In 2003 the airline's image was rebranded and airline's
logo and styling of the aircraft was changed.
In cooperation with state enterprise "Chisinau
International Airport" a number of branch companies was created. These consisted
of: ticket sales agency "Sky Alliance", "Aeroport-Catering" - passenger catering
services, "Aeroport-Handling"- passenger and cargo check-in, their delivery on
board of the aircraft and current maintenance of the aircrafts, "Aeroport-Petrol"
- aircraft refuelling. New flights to Amsterdam, Vienna and Lisbon were
launched. From August, 2004 Air Moldova started regular operations to the
capital of Spain - Madrid. Fleet replenishment with two modern airliners
Airbus-320 (the first one was received in September, 2003, the second one- in
February,2004) was a remarkable event. That led to substantial increase in
passenger transportation and in flow of traffic.
On July 13, 2004 Air Moldova became a member of
International Association of Air Transport (IATA).Conditions of becoming an IATA
member presume high standards in all aspects of the airline activity. Before
becoming an IATA member, Air Moldova underwent audits in fields of operations,
maintenance, flight safety and quality systems development. Personnel competence
was also assessed in order to make sure that Air Moldova meets high standards
set by this organisation.
As from 15th of December 2004 Air Moldova launched a new product called Air
Moldova Club. This is a Frequent Flyer Loyalty Programme and is specially
designed for those passengers who often travel with Air Moldova. It is based on
the accumulation of Credit Miles on all scheduled flights operated by Air
Moldova and grants special benefits for its most loyal passengers.
