The air carrier "HiSky" LLC ensures a high level of protection of its passengers rights. However, in case the flight has been canceled or delayed, or you have been denied boarding on a flight for which you have a confirmed reservation, you are entitled to the rights defined in the Regulation on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of a refusal to board and the cancellation or delay of flights (approved by Government Decision no. 836 of 08.11.2018).

Regulamentul se aplică:

1. to passengers departing from an airport located in the territory of the Republic of Moldova;
2. to passengers departing from an airport located in a third country to an airport situated in the territory of the Republic of Moldova, unless they received benefits or compensation and were given assistance in that third country, if the operating air carrier of the flight concerned is a Moldovan carrier.

Denied boarding

When an operating air carrier reasonably expects to deny boarding on a flight, it shall first call for volunteers to surrender their reservations in exchange for benefits under conditions to be agreed between the passenger concerned and the operating air carrier.

If an insufficient number of volunteers comes forward to allow the remaining passengers with reservations to board the flight, the operating air carrier may then deny boarding to passengers against their will.

Passengers who are denied boarding against their will have the right to compensation, assistance and care from the operating air carrier.
