Manchester Airport is launching its first direct flights to Moldova, with services starting in December.
Moldovan airline FLYONE will begin operating twice-weekly flights on Tuesdays and Saturdays to the country’s capital Chisinau from Tuesday 17 December.
Chief Commercial Officer Stephen Turner said: “We are proud to connect the North to the world through our route network of more than 200 destinations, more than any UK airport outside London. A key part of that is connecting people to friends and family in other countries.
“The North is home to lots of people from Moldova and we’re really pleased to be able to help them visit their homeland from an airport right on their doorstep.
“This new route also gives people from the North the opportunity to take the road less travelled and visit one of Europe’s last real hidden gems, with fantastic wine and beautiful scenery.”
Prices start at £19 per person, one-way.
