About Chisinau

As the capital and the largest city in the former Soviet controlled Republic of Moldova, Chisinau plays a major role in Eastern politics, business and commerce. The town itself is actually also known as Kishinev, depending on who you ask. This wonderful location is a place well worth coming to visit within the simulator, offering a wonderful venue that shows you the true beauty of this part of the world.

As the most powerful industrial and commercial centre within the country, Chisinau plays a critical role in the safe development, proper growth and long-term aspiration of the country as a whole. It’s located smack bang in the middle of Moldova, further adding to its massively impressive style. Its central location means that it can literally act as the central hub for the rest of the nation, making it easy for travel and commerce to be moved to other parts of Moldova with relative ease.

Its base on the River Bic makes it a great place to come and visit, offering a solid and simple solution to helping you engage with the city landscape better than before. With close to half a million residents living in the capital, this is the most populous part of the country and for this reason it’s a major hub of employment, fashion and overall trendsetting for the rest of the country.

During the IIWW, Chisinau was nearly destroyed entirely. It’s beautiful architecture and wonderful layout was nearly wiped out entirely, but determination to rebuild has ensured this proud city can be put back together accordingly.

Chisinau itself sits atop seven massive hills and takes up close to 120 square km of space. With 23 lakes inside the city, too, this makes it one of the greenest cities in the whole of Europe.

About Chisinau Airport

Chisinau International Airport is one of the most airlines not just in Moldova (it is the airport of Moldova) but also of the whole of Eastern Europe. This stunning airport is beautifully created and offers a wonderful view of the city itself. The airport has been open for close to a century, with the first scheduled flight arriving here in June 1926. There is even a commemorative plaque to mark this event in the airport.

The main terminal for the airport was first put in place in the 1970s, and could take as many as 1.2m passengers every single year. This massive volume – for the time – meant that the airport could take twice the population of the capital today every year.

Since the 1990s, this airport has seen major improvement. It gained international recognition in 1995, and since then it has continued to grow and see major change. It started working with Afken Holding in 2002, and has seen major modernization occur ever since. With everything from x-ray security and luggage handling to an annual capacity of as much as 5.4m, this airport can take a huge amount more than it could even twenty years ago.

The airport looks to continue growing and improving as time goes on, too. The facilities are set to improve with major renovations going thanks to the help of the European Investment Bank. This is hoped to help modernise the airport even further, helping to maintain Moldova and its upward societal curve.
