After Syrian planes have been banned from Turkish air space the Syrian
Airlines company implementing Aleppo-Yerevan and Yerevan-Aleppo flights
has to bypass Turkey for reaching Syria, which means the one and half
hour long flight will take now 4 hours.
According to representatives of the Armenian community, the Turkey's
air space will be replaced by those of Iran and Iraq. Syrian Airlines
official said air spaces of other countries will be used, but did
not specify of which countries.
The prolongation of the time of flight, is supposed to cause raise in
ticket price. Syrian Airlines representative though said no changes
of tariffs are expected yet. The ticket price has remained the same.
As far as Turkey's ban relates only to Syrian aircraft, Tert.am tried
to find out whether Armavia would resume the flights suspended from
September 17 or not.
Spokesperson of the airline Nana Avetisova told Tert.am that Armavia
will not resume flights. She said people were not buying tickets
that's why Armavia suspended flights.
The Syrian Armenians preferred to buy tickets from Syrian Airlines
as they were much cheaper.
