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.
