Chișinău International Airport resumed normal operations Saturday after specialized security units cleared a false bomb threat that prompted terminal evacuations and suspended passenger check-in procedures earlier in the day.

Specialized bomb-disposal teams from Moldova's Ministry of Internal Affairs inspected the entire complex and declared the terminal safe. Authorities confirmed that passengers were permitted to re-enter the facility and resume their scheduled departures.

**Repeated disruption at aviation hub**

The incident marks the second bomb hoax at the airport in 48 hours. A similar threat on Friday, October 2, forced an evacuation and delayed flights until operations resumed around 6:00 p.m.

Aviation authorities urged travelers to anticipate minor schedule adjustments and monitor updates closely. 

*“We advise passengers to track flight statuses in real time on the airport’s digital board and follow official announcements,”* the Border Police said. *“In cooperation with national security agencies, we continue to enforce comprehensive measures to ensure citizen safety and state security.”*
