Chișinău Airport resumes normal operations after false fire alarm

Published

Moldova's Border Police briefly evacuated passengers and staff at Chișinău Eugen Doga International Airport early on November 15 after a fire alarm proved to be false, leaving flights uninterrupted.

Swift security response

The alarm sounded at approximately 05:36 local time, prompting border officers to clear the terminal under standard safety protocols. Subsequent security sweeps confirmed there were no fire hazards inside the facility, the Border Police said.

Airport operations continued on a normal schedule without flight delays or cancellations. Authorities are now investigating the cause of the false activation.
