YEREVAN. – Armenia’s national carrier Armavia Airline Company’s Yerevan-Aleppo flight scheduled for September 17 is canceled, Company Press Secretary Nana Avetisova told Armenian News-NEWS.am.  

“The passengers are refusing [to head to Aleppo], they are afraid, they don’t want to fly, they are returning the tickets and being reimbursed,” she said.    

Avetisova also noted that they have representatives in Aleppo, too, and the people there are contacting them, returning the previously-purchased tickets, and getting reimbursements.

To note, the Yerevan-Aleppo flights did operate on September 9 and past Monday, but it is yet unclear as to when the next flight will be carried out.   

“We are ready to operate the flight, but the passengers don’t want it,” Nana Avetisova stated. 

To note, Armavia had resumed the Yerevan-Aleppo flights because of passenger demand, since they wished to return to Aleppo.

As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, four more Armenians had died in Aleppo recently. Arthur Soulavian, Mesrob Adjemian, Arsen Pepedjian and Hratch Pepedjian were caught under crossfire and subsequently killed Tuesday evening while heading to Aleppo from the city’s airport.
