Moldova will close its airspace to civilian aircraft on June 1 for safety reasons while hosting a summit of European leaders, its civil aviation authority said on Thursday.
Moldova expects up to 47 heads of state, government and European Union institutions to attend the summit of the European Political Community (EPC), which brings together EU member states and 17 other European countries.
"To ensure aviation security, flights of all civil aircraft will be prohibited over the entire airspace of the Republic of Moldova," the civil aviation authority said.
