Passengers planning a trip from Ukraine to Moldova with the intention of further departure from Chisinau Airport now have the opportunity to significantly simplify logistics. "Ukrzaliznytsia" has introduced an additional stop at Revaca station for trains traveling the Kyiv — Chisinau route. This decision was a response to high demand from Ukrainians using the Moldovan hub for transit to Europe and other countries. ### Results of April testing The decision to launch the new stop was not spontaneous. It was the result of a thorough analysis of the results of a test run of train No. 351/352, which took place in April 2026. According to the carrier's data, the test showed a sustained interest in the route, where the final destination is not the center of Chisinau, but Revaca station, located in close proximity to the international airport. This allows passengers to avoid the need to transfer to public transport in the capital of Moldova and spend time traveling to the terminal. ### Important condition for passengers Despite the convenience of the innovation, "Ukrzaliznytsia" warns of an important nuance that must be taken into account when planning a trip. The additional stop at Revaca station has been introduced exclusively for trains traveling in the direction from Kyiv to Chisinau. In the opposite direction, that is, when traveling from Chisinau to Kyiv, trains do not stop at the airport. Passengers arriving in Moldova by plane and wishing to return home by train will have to get to the central railway station of Chisinau on their own. ### History of route development The Kyiv — Chisinau direction has a rich history of development under the current geopolitical situation. Back in 2022, "Ukrzaliznytsia" launched an additional train on this route, which subsequently became daily. The first run of the new train departed from Kyiv on December 20. In the initial stage, it ran every other day and made stops at stations in the Vinnytsia and Khmelnytskyi regions. Since then, the route has become a key transport corridor connecting Ukraine with its neighboring country. ### Logistics and transit convenience The introduction of a stop in Revaca addresses one of the main "pain points" for transit passengers — the need to transfer. The station is within walking distance of the airport, allowing passengers with luggage to quickly and comfortably reach the departure point. This is particularly relevant given that many Ukrainians are forced to make complex flights through third countries. The new format of train movement optimizes travel time and reduces travel stress. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [No conductor, no go: UZ warned passengers of the Kyiv-Chisinau train about an important condition](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/providnika-viyde-uz-poperedila-pasazhiriv-1786549136.html) - Источник подтверждает введение остановки в Реваке и условия для пассажиров. - ["Ukrzaliznytsia" launches direct train from Kyiv to Chisinau Airport](https://www.unian.net/economics/transport/poezd-kiev-kishinev-ukrzaliznycya-zapuskaet-pryamoy-reys-do-revaki-13345629.html) - Источник подтверждает запуск рейса и его связь с аэропортом. - [Ukrzaliznytsia launches flight from Kyiv to Chisinau Airport](https://korrespondent.net/ukraine/4870088-ukrzalyznytsia-zapuskaet-reis-yz-kyeva-v-aeroport-kyshyneva) - Подтверждено по источнику korrespondent.net - ["Ukrzaliznytsia" launched daily train to Chisinau Airport: how to buy tickets](https://delo.ua/ru/news/ukrzaliznycya-zapustila-ezednevnyi-poezd-v-aeroport-kisineva-kak-kupit-bilety-467707/) - Подтверждено по источнику delo.ua ## ❓ FAQ ### Q: Where is Revaca station located? **A:** Revaca station is located in close proximity to Chisinau International Airport. ### Q: Does the stop work in both directions? **A:** No, the stop has been introduced only for trains traveling from Kyiv to Chisinau. ### Q: When was the test run conducted? **A:** The test run of train No. 351/352 took place in April 2026.
