The European Union concluded negotiations with Armenia for a new aviation agreement on the margins of the Eastern Partnership Summit held today in Brussels.

It is estimated that this agreement will bring an additional 87.000 additional passengers and will generate more than €16 million in the first five years. This agreement will improve market access for airlines, providing better connectivity, more choice and lower fares for travellers. More flights also means more jobs and more wealth for all partners.

Commissioner for Transport Violeta Bulc said, “Today we are further delivering on our ambitious aviation strategy by taking our aviation relations with Armenia to the next level. This agreement will not only improve market access, it will also contribute to the highest safety, security and environmental standards. This is good news for European and Armenian travellers and businesses.”

This agreement was negotiated by the European Commission as part of its Aviation Strategy for Europe, a milestone initiative to give a new boost to European aviation and provide new business opportunities. 

The Armenian delegation has agreed to recommend its authorities to sign the agreement following the completion of the necessary internal procedures.
