Israeli Minister of Transportation Yisrael Katz has reportedly allowed
Arkia, an Israeli airline, to operate Tel Aviv-Yerevan direct flights
that so far have been carried out by Armenia~Rs national air carrier,
Armavia.
Israeli news agency Zman.com quoted Katz as saying on Monday that
Israel-Armenia flights will be operated within the framework of ~Sair
transport liberalization~T.
Armenia and Israel signed an agreement on air transportation in 1997.
No Israeli airline has operated flights to Armenia since.
Armavia, which operated Yerevan-Tel Aviv flights from 2010, has
encountered considerable problems in the past year or so connected
with its debts to the Yerevan airport. It is not immediately clear
whether the decision by the Israeli side is connected with the Armenian
company~Rs being in dire financial straits.
Armavia reached a deal with Israeli Eshet Tours in February under
which beginning in April the Israeli company began direct service
between the two countries offering two flights per week, including
during summer months.
