Chisinau International Airport (KIV) is Moldova’s main international gateway and typically serves full-service carriers and regional budget airlines, making it the primary choice for inbound and outbound international travel. Located about 13 km (8 miles) southeast of the city center, transfer time to central Chisinau is usually 20–30 minutes by car depending on traffic. Public bus and minibus services can take 30–45 minutes and are generally the most economical option; taxis and app-based rides typically cost more but are faster and more convenient. Pros: compact terminal, relatively quick processing and direct international connections. Cons: limited lounge and shopping facilities compared with larger European hubs, and fewer late-night flight options.

Moscow is served by several airports with distinct roles. Sheremetyevo (SVO) functions as the main international hub and typically handles most long-haul and premium carriers, often perceived as mid-to-high priced for transfers and services. Domodedovo (DME) is another major international airport, commonly used by both full-service and some budget-friendly airlines and can be seen as competitively priced. Vnukovo (VKO) often caters to a mix of charter and scheduled services and may be chosen for lower fares or convenient western access. Zhukovsky (ZIA) is a smaller, newer option that usually handles low-cost and charter flights. Travel times to central Moscow vary: Sheremetyevo is about 30–50 km north and typically takes 35–60 minutes by Aeroexpress train (approx. 500–800 RUB) or 40–90 minutes by taxi depending on traffic (fares often 1,500–3,000 RUB). Domodedovo sits roughly 40–50 km south with an Aeroexpress of about 45–65 minutes (around 500–900 RUB) and taxi rides commonly 1,800–3,500 RUB. Vnukovo is roughly 28–35 km southwest with Aeroexpress journeys near 35–50 minutes (similar fare range) or taxis in the 1,200–2,500 RUB range. Zhukovsky is farther east and can take 50–90 minutes by car or mixed public transport, with limited rail links. Pros and cons: Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo usually offer extensive facilities, lounges and frequent connections, making transfers more comfortable but sometimes busier and pricier. Vnukovo can be more convenient for western approaches and shorter drives from some suburbs, though it may have fewer international connections. Zhukovsky is often a budget-conscious choice for certain low-cost or charter services but can involve longer ground transfers and sparser public-transport frequency. All airports can be affected by Moscow traffic, so allow extra time for peak periods.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Chisinau to Moscow is $137 (November 2025), while the maximum is $336 (August 2026). On average, a ticket costs $219–$265.
