"Today, the people of Iași, but also the other inhabitants of Moldova, have a new reason to rejoice. From June 4, a new direct flight to Milan - Bergamo will become operational. This new route will be operated by TAROM, our main partner at Iasi Airport. It will have two frequencies per week, Wednesday and Friday, and the tariffs announced at this time are much more competitive than what is practiced at other airports in the area of Moldova. Bergamo - Milan is a region where there is an important community of Romanians, and the opening of this new route mediates the movement of our fellow citizens. It must also be seen as a business and tourism destination, as Milan is a financial capital of Europe ", said Mr. MARIUS BODEA, President of the Board of Directors of Iasi Airport.

At this moment, the destination of Venice is operating only from the Chisinau Airport, and many of our citizens travel to the Republic of Moldova to reach this destination, said Mr. Marius BODEA. ”
