Airports in Germany and France offered us discounts," Hovhannisyan said According to him, tickets to Europe will be at low tariffs, which will allow the population to no longer transit through other countries to fly to the cities in question. Hovhannisyan added that launching these flights will help increase the flow of tourists to Armenia from Europe. The airline will also carry out charter flights to more destinations. Starting from the summer of 2018, the carrier will fly to Varna and will resume flights to Erbil and Baghdad from March.
