YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 28, ARMENPRESS. The declaration of the Turkish
businessmen about Yerevan-Van flight, according to which the flights
will launch in two weeks, is a result of misunderstanding. This is
how the Chairman of Armenian Union of Manufacturers and Businessmen
(Employers) Arsen Ghazaryan characterized the aforesaid announcement.
One week ago Arsen Ghazaryan announced in the conference hall of
"Armenpress" that the Yerevan-Van flights will possibly launch in
spring. He said: ~SThe organizers told me that nothing about this.
Possibly the declaration of the Turkish businessman is a result of
misunderstanding."
The Press Service of the Chief Department of the Civil Aviation of
Armenia will comment on this topic a little later.
In a conversation with Hurriyet Daily News businessman and member of
the Van Industry and Trade Chamber (VATSO) Ayhan Fidan stated that
Yerevan-Van flights will launch in two weeks. The Turkish businessman
stated: "The land distance between Van and Yerevan is 230 kilometers.
It is possible to cover this distance by car if the border was open.
Now it will take 25 minutes for a plane to take off in Van and to
land in Yerevan." 30 travel agencies of Van developed a package of
suggestion, which will support the flights between the two countries.
Fidan said: "We aim for 79 percent occupancy rates in the flights."
Also the Turkish businessman said that he is hopeful that the shuttle
trade in Istanbul may shift to Van as a result of the flights, thanks
to its lower transportation costs.
