At the command of Embraer 190, which made this first rotation, was the Director General of the company itself, the pilot-in-command Iulian SCORPAN. With him, a delegation of Air Moldova management and journalists arrived in Geneva on this flight.
A small inaugural ceremony was held at the boarding gate, in the presence of representatives of the Permanent Mission of Moldova with international organisations. The traditional group photo and the cutting of the cake marked this event.
