YEREVAN. – In 2012, three European airline companies suspended their flights to Armenia’s capital city Yerevan, Armenian Association of Travel Agents (AATA) Deputy Chairman Yeghishe Tanashyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am. 

Specifically, British Airways, Lot Polish Airlines, and airBaltic of Latvia decided to no longer conduct flights to Yerevan.   

As per Tanashyan, as a result of these flights, Armenia was having air transportation with a variety of solvency. 

According to the AATA Deputy Chairman, the reasons for the suspension of these flights are the high fees charged by Yerevan’s Zvartnots International Airport and the non-free air space. 

At present, the prices of tickets for flights from Armenia to Eastern Europe have increased by 20-25 percent as compared to previous years.
