  Armenian carrier seeks license to operate Yerevan-Istanbul flights December 25, 2021 - 14:46 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Flyone Armenia has submitted an application to Armenia's Civil Aviation Committee to launch Yerevan-Istanbul flights, according to Sona Harutyunyan, the press secretary of the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Infrastructures. "On December 23, the Civil Aviation Committee received an application from the Armenian carrier to operate flights to Istanbul three times a week. The Committee is studying the application and will respond within a reasonable period," she said on Friday, December 24, Sputnik Armenia reports. Harutyunyan noted that if Flyone Armenia's application meets the established criteria, it will be approved and the airline will be able to launch the flights. Given that there are no diplomatic relations between Yerevan and Ankara, no aviation agreements have been signed either, which means the flights are going to chartered. The spokesperson added that Turkish airlines have not applied to the Armenian aviation authorities as of now. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said in mid-December that Turkey and Armenia will mutually appoint special envoys to discuss steps to normalize ties, and added they will also restart charter flights between Istanbul and Yerevan.
