Sky Team to Moldova?
My wife was recently in Chisinau, Moldova and saw some advertising for Sky Team. I was unaware of any Sky Team service to Moldova. In fact, she took AF into Bucharest and then the overnight train on to Chisinau.
Does anyone know if there is any current or planned service by any Sky Team carrier into Chisinau? I know that OS flies there for Star Alliance from Vienna.

CSA Czech isn't showing service additions, so maybe something with Aeroflot? Aeroflot doesn't show service there, but as a former Soviet area, it seems like that would be the most likely carrier.
I see a flight on Malev (actually codeshared from Moldavian) that goes into KIV. Malev is a partner with NW, so maybe they're looking at joining SkyTeam as well?
When the national carrier has a route map of two scheduled routes, there's probably not a lot of commercial service into the country:

Then again, they make up for the limited route map by having six tiers to the frequent flyer program, though it looks like the program has only been active in two individual years (2000, 2002):
