    Several European airlines stop flying to Yerevan


    Three European airlines stopped flights to Yerevan in 2012,
    vice-chairman of the Armenian Association of Travel Agents Yeghishe
    Tanashyan said today, Armenian Report reported.

    In particular, British Airways, Lot Polish Airlines and Latvian Air
    Baltic refused to fly there.

    He said that thanks to Air Baltic, the flights to northern Europe were
    affordable and British Airways served U.S tourists offering expensive,
    but comfortable conditions.

    The private sector of Armenian tourism had great hopes regarding
    Polish Airlines because the standard of living has increased in
    Poland, even during the world downturn and the country's tourism
    companies had an interest in Armenia. Negotiations were held in
    connection with Armenia's participation in the largest Polish
    exhibition. After the cancellation of flights, all these projects have
    been frozen.

    Tanashyan said that the reason was the high prices at Zvartnots
    airport, as well as non-free air space.

    Currently, prices for flights to Eastern Europe increased by 20-25 per
    cent compared to previous years.
