Air Moldova on May 2 suspended all operations as the company restructures its debts.

The airline issued this statement:

Air Moldova announces: Accelerated restructuring of the company, with the aim of saving it!

On May 2, 2023, the airline company Air Moldova, submitted to the court the application for the approval of the accelerated restructuring of the company, which is an action plan, which aims to avoid the bankruptcy of the airline, solve the existing problems and accept investments.

The restructuring requested in court by Air Moldova represents the use of a complex of instruments in order to overcome financial difficulties and restore the economic viability of the company.

The restructuring procedure is the solution identified by the company that would allow external investment.

Investors are ready to invest around $50 million dollars in Air Moldova. These investments would allow solving the company’s financial problems and replenishing its own fleet.


Investments in the company cannot be made without the accelerated restructuring procedure due to the increased risk of an attack by existing creditors.

The accelerated restructuring will allow the company to receive these investments strictly for the development of the company, so that later, in time, the existing debts will also be paid.


Thus, until the decision of the court, regarding the acceptance or rejection of the request submitted by Air Moldova, the company will suspend the operation of flights and ticket sales starting on May 2, 2023. The resumption of the activity will be possible within 3 days after the decision of to the court.

All the actions undertaken by the Air Moldova Company Management are aimed at saving the National operator from bankruptcy. Accelerated restructuring is a unique opportunity for Air Moldova, being an international practice.

Finnair shifts its sustainability efforts up a gear

Finnair is shifting its sustainability efforts up a gear with the launch of a new range of environmentally focussed initiatives.

The new projects are aimed at helping the airline reach its target of being carbon neutral by the end of 2045 and will contribute towards reducing Finnair’s overall carbon footprint.

This month, the Nordic airline introduced 105 new electric-powered ground equipment vehicles, as part of its plan to reduce its carbon footprint and achieve net-zero emissions in non-flight operations by the end of 2023.

The investment includes dedicated Volkswagen ID.Buzz electric vans, which will support Finnair’s Technical Operations on the ground in Helsinki and reduce CO2 emissions.

Following this move, 45% of Finnair’s motorised ground equipment will be electric or hybrid – a testament to the airline’s commitment to sustainability.

While the airline has made great strides towards transforming its ground handling equipment to become totally electrically powered, some vehicles will remain conventionally powered for operational and risk reduction reasons, especially during Finland’s demanding winter conditions.

After reaching its goal to halve single-use plastic waste onboard by 2022, Finnair is also taking actions onboard to reduce single-use plastic and increase its recycling rate.

From today, customers can enjoy bamboo toothbrushes and mint toothpaste, developed for Finnair by the Swedish sustainability-focused company, The Humble Co.

The newly designed toothbrush and toothpaste are available to customers travelling in Business Class and Premium Economy upon request.

The flag carrier also recently announced the purchase of 750 tons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from its partner, Neste, for use on flights departing from Helsinki Airport.

This week, Finnair was ranked by Finns as the most sustainable brand among the airlines included in the Sustainable Brand Index 2023.

This follows the airline’s recent move to switch shorter domestic flights to buses, the launch of carbon offsetting, and also the additional investment in setting a science-based target for reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
