- FlyOne challenged CEIISS decisions and requests order cancellation
- The state gave FlyOne 90 days to change ownership
- The investigation took one year instead of the legal 45 days
- Flights continue operating normally with no license suspension
- FlyOne plans legal action in national and international courts
FlyOne has officially challenged the decisions made by the Moldovan Council for the Examination of Investments of Importance for State Security and the Public Services Agency, requesting that the authorities cancel the order and suspend the restrictive measures. The CEIISS rejected FlyOne’s investments and forced a change-of-control clause, giving the company 90 days to change its ownership. The state cited security concerns over critical infrastructure and alleged potential links between company individuals and internationally sanctioned people.
The airline claims the ruling harms Moldova’s investment climate and states the investigation took a year instead of the legal 45 days. The company also argues that the specific law used was repealed by Parliament in April 2025. The security council clarified that it has not suspended the airline’s license, so operations continue and all scheduled flights are running normally. Passengers can buy tickets and travel without immediate disruption.
FlyOne hopes to resolve this directly with state agencies but plans to sue in national and international courts, including the European Court of Human Rights, if the government refuses a review. FLYONE operates direct flights between Dublin Airport and Chișinău International Airport in Moldova, with up to 7 weekly nonstop flights out of Terminal 1 at Dublin Airport.
FlyOne shared: “The ruling harms Moldova’s investment climate. The specific law used was repealed by Parliament in April 2025.”
