Tandem Aero was a Moldovan passenger charter airline headquartered in Chişinău, operating from 1998 until its closure in 2019.
Operations
As of July 2007, Tandem Aero possessed an air operator's certificate permitting the transportation of passengers, cargo, and mail. In addition to providing charter flights, the airline conducted contracted services on behalf of Air Moldova, flying routes to destinations such as Sochi, Bucharest, and Kyiv until February 2015.
During its later operational period, Tandem Aero transitioned to offering scheduled passenger flights, acquiring a used Airbus A320 aircraft to operate a weekly service connecting Moldova with Tel Aviv. The airline terminated its activities in April 2019 following the Moldovan Government's revocation of its operating license due to safety-related issues.
