Over two years of efforts by Van businessmen to start flights between
their hometown and Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, have yielded
results that may shift shuttle trade from Istanbul to the eastern
province as well as boost local tourism revenues.
Round-trip flights between the two cities will kick off in two weeks,
Ayhan Fidan, a businessman and member of the Van Industry and Trade
Chamber (VATSO), told the Daily News. VATSO has completed legal
procedures regarding aviation regulations and a plane will be rented
from the local Bora Jet firm. "The land border between Turkey and
Armenia is closed, despite the fact that air entrances and exits are
free. This is a clear contrast. We want the border gates to open,"
said Fidan, Hurriyet Daily News report.
