Cirrus, El Al, Malev and Rossiya don't operate flights but have code share on other airlines flights to Chişinău. Belavia considered starting flights from Minsk in Summer 2007 season but didn't start. Alitalia offered a weekly flight on Sundays from Milano-Malpensa in the computer reservation systems last summer but never operated. Baku, Munich, Sofia and Stockholm might become the next new destinations.
   During the summer there are regular charter flights to Antalya, Bodrum, Burgas, Luxor, Sharm el Sheik and Varna.
   As the number of scheduled airlines and aircraft serving Chişinău is limited, many unscheduled, business and private flights take place to Chişinău.
   In 2009 civil aviation might be further liberalized which would bring more flights and cheaper prices.
