The Ukraine International Airlines (UIA) does not plan on halting flights between Armenia and Ukraine.

Armenia’s and Ukraine’s political positions on Crimea have not impacted the air communication between the countries, an UIA source told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

According to the source, the schedule of the Kyiv-Yerevan-Kyiv flights is drawn up until, and including, 31 May. 

“Due to lack of passengers, the number of the Kyiv-Yerevan flights was recently reduced to one. At present, UIA conducts one flight [between Armenia and Ukraine] per week,” the source added.

Official Kyiv is dissatisfied with official Yerevan in connection with Crimea. 

As reported earlier, the Armenian and Russian Presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Vladimir Putin had a telephonic conversation on Wednesday. They touched upon the situation created after the referendum in Crimea, and noted this as another example of the exercising of the people’s right to self-determination through free expression of will.
