General Aviation Considerations in Planning the Aviation Industry’s Recovery from COVID-19

07.10.2025

We inform you that Government Decision No. 870 of 09.12.2020 on the approval of the Regulation on the authorization of flights and the use of national airspace by civil and state aircraft has been amended, with the new provisions entering into force on 05.10.2025.

Thus, among other amendments, point 5 of Government Decision No. 870/2020 will read as follows:

“5. The flight of a civil aircraft with a pilot on board in the national airspace may be carried out if, for that flight:

the aircraft operator holds a civil liability insurance contract in accordance with the established requirements;

the aircraft operator holds, as applicable, the corresponding permissions provided in point 9 and has submitted a flight plan to the air traffic services, in accordance with the technical requirements approved by the Civil Aviation Authority; or

the aircraft is operated within a portion of airspace reserved for that flight or type of flight activity, in accordance with the airspace management and utilization procedures approved by the Civil Aviation Authority.”

Point 8 will read as follows:

“8. Any civil aircraft performing a flight in a portion of the national airspace where the provision of air traffic control services is mandatory must have the capability for two-way radio communication.
The language used for radio communication in airspace where air traffic control services are provided shall be English. Radio communications in national airspace where air traffic control services are not provided may be conducted in Romanian, English, or Russian, provided that participants in the communication hold valid language proficiency authorizations for the respective languages.
For flights conducted within the national airspace, aircraft operators shall ensure that their aircraft are equipped with communication and surveillance equipment and systems in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements published in the AIP Moldova.”

Points 26 and 27 will read as follows:

“26. The aircraft operator shall comply with the route/track or flight area for which the flight plan was submitted, for which permission or authorization was granted, as well as with the conditions, restrictions, or limitations imposed when that permission or authorization was issued. An aircraft operator intending to perform a flight in a restricted or dangerous area, or in airspace reserved or segregated for another user or authority, shall obtain information from the air traffic service provider both before and during the flight regarding the access conditions to that area or airspace, and shall comply with them.

27. The provisions of point 26 do not affect the right of the aircraft operator to amend the submitted flight plan in compliance with applicable procedures and regulations, nor the right of the air traffic control unit to request modification of the route or flight path for reasons of flight safety and/or security.”

We hereby inform you that Law 118 of 09.07.2020 on civil liability and insurance requirements for air operators and aircraft operators has been amended with effect from 28.02.2025.

Thus, in the case of non-commercial operations of aircraft with an MTOM of 2,700 kg or less, the minimum insurance amount is 151 880 SDR per passenger.

Aircraft operators must conclude and maintain within their validity periods appropriate insurance contracts, covering their civil liability and provide proof that they comply, at all times, with the minimum insurance requirements regarding civil liability provided for by law.

Aircraft operators guarantee the existence of insurance for each flight, regardless of whether the aircraft used belongs to them or is subject to a lease or joint operations agreement.
