context_page_description: Aviation has been a part of Moldovan society since the early 20th century.
context_section_description: There are two main international airports in Moldova: Chişinău International Airport with the main terminal built in the 1970s with a capacity of 1,200,000 passengers per year. On 31 May 1995 Chişinău Airport was awarded the status of an international airport.
  Chişinău International Airport has commercial flights (approximately 20 destinations and 688,000 passengers in 2007).
  Bălți International Airport with currently no regular flights.
  There were also unfortunate attempts to reanimate Cahul International Airport and to transform the military air field Marculesti into an airport.
