Moldovan Airport Passengers Revolt Amidst Claims of Neglect and Mismanagement

Chisinau Airport Passengers Voice Outrage Over Conditions After Nationalization Chisinau, Moldova – Passengers at Chisinau International Airport are expressing growing discontent over the airport's state of disrepair since it came under state control in 2023. Singer Dara's recent social media posts, featuring images of dirty floors and litter in the airport's lounge area, have ignited a public debate. "The airport looks shameful," Dara wrote, echoing the sentiments of many passengers. The video report by TV6.press delves into the issue, showcasing contrasting views. While officials have released statements praising recent developments, the on-the-ground reality, as captured in the video, paints a different picture. The report also includes comments from other public figures, including actor Emilian Crețu, who criticized the closure of airport restaurants and cafes. A blogger, Eugen Luchianuc, has further fueled the controversy by publishing an organizational chart suggesting a lack of transparency and meritocracy in the airport's management. The authorities deny these allegations. The situation highlights the challenges of transitioning a major public facility under state control. The discrepancy between official statements and passenger experiences underscores the need for greater accountability and transparency in airport management.
