Yerevan-Van first charter flight may launch September 11

 Yerevan-Van charter flights have been highlighted during a meeting between Armenian and Turkish businessmen and travel agencies.

Arsen Ghazaryan, the chairperson of the Union of Manufacturers and Businessmen (Employers) of Armenia (UMB(E)A), said in news conference today: “The flight is short, hence small jets will be used.”

Abdullah Tunjdemiri, Van Chamber of Commerce and Industry Council member, said he is a co-author of the project to launch Yerevan-Van charter flights. “We’re intended to make the airport of Van an international airport, thus a new terminal is being constructed. The first Yerevan-Van flight may be carried out on September 11,” A. Tunjdemiri said.

“Armavia” and “AtlastJet” Turkish airlines are holding 2 flights in a week from Istanbul and Trapizon to Yerevan. Flights from Antalia and Bodrum are available in summer.
