‘RyanAir’ airlines entering the Armenian market will conclude a deal not with ‘Shirak’ airport in Armenia’s Gyumri, but with ‘Zvartnots’ airport in Yerevan and this will weaken the positions of Shirak airport, head of Bright Armenia faction Edmon Marukyan wrote on Facebook.

“I have long raised the issue of the need to open new directions from Shirak Airport to Gyumri, but it did not become a subject of discussion, so, I decided to use the airport in Gyumri to understand the conditions that are offered to passengers and the airport has a great potential for development,” he said. “I must also express my deep gratitude to the employees for their responsibility, warmth, and willingness to tell about the potential of the airport. I urge the Government to make every effort to open new directions from the Shirak airport in order to strengthen its market position and increase competitiveness.”
