Tandem Aero was a passenger charter airline based in Chişinău, Moldova, which existed from 1998 to 2019.
Operations The airline's air operator's certificate permitted the transport of passengers, goods and mail as of July 2007. Apart from passenger charter work, the airline at times operated contracted flights for Air Moldova to Sochi, Bucharest, and Kyiv. In February 2015, the arrangement with Air Moldova came to an end.
