Four helipads built for 5.6 million lei cannot take SMURD helicopters
The four helipads built in 2023 are not in use, because the law does not allow them to be certified, and the deadline to fix this has passed.
Written later, from the reports of that day.
What it means for you
The first concrete point for you is the date: the new deadline for changing the law is 11 March 2027. Until then SMURD helicopters keep landing at the Dinamo stadium, and the helipads in Cahul and Balti stay empty. The Civil Aviation Authority says it needs a government decision before it can certify them.
What happened
