    Air Armenia growing as Armenia's new national carrier


    The arrival of Air Armenia's first A320 in Yerevan last November was
    welcomed by the airport's fire service with the traditional water arch
    salute. The A320 joined the airline's other aircraft, a Boeing
    737-500. The Airbus is used to serve Moscow Vnukovo twice-daily, while
    the 737-500 is used for all other routes.

    Following the demise in March 2013 of Armavia there was a gap in the
    Armenian civil air transport market. This has now been filled by Air
    Armenia, which was founded in 2003 as a cargo airline. Last July, the
    airline was authorised to operate passenger services and it began
    flights to Moscow Vnukovo last October, using a 737-500.

    A second aircraft, an A320, joined the fleet in November 2013, and
    this aircraft is used exclusively to serve the Moscow Vnukovo route
    twice-daily. The 737-500 is now used to serve all other routes which
    have been launched in subsequent months. However, the most recent new
    route, a weekly service to Ekaterinburg, appears to be operated by
    Ural Airlines as a codeshare service.
