YEREVAN, MARCH 21, ARMENPRESS. Flyone Armenia plans to add an Airbus A330 to its fleet as it’s about to launch new flights.

Flyone Armenia Chairman of the Board Aram Ananyan told ARMENPRESS that they plan to launch flights to five new destinations.

The Airbus A330 has a longer range and can fly not only to Europe, Middle East, Russia, but also to China, Southeast Asia, India, and also conduct transcontinental flights across the ocean.

“It is a 252-seat plane, 222 seats are economy class while 30 are business class. Soon the aircraft will enter our fleet. We will soon acquire other planes of this class too, and they will change the quality of our services, raising it to a new level,” Ananyan said.

The five new destinations offered by Flyone Armenia are Dusseldorf, Larnaca, Tehran, Samara and Novosibirsk, bringing the number of destinations to over 20.

During the summer season Flyone Armenia will offer a wide charter program. Ananyan reminded that Flyone Armenia flies to Egypt’s Sharm el Sheikh and Hurgada, and Marsa Alam, Albania, Bulgaria and Greece will also be added. Pilots will undergo the required trainings.

The Flyone Armenia executive said they select new destinations based on studies into the demand.

Ananyan said it is interesting that due to geopolitical changes Armenia has not only become a convenient country for point-to-point travel, but is also an interesting destination for transit travel, and Yerevan has all opportunities to become a transit hub.

“We’ll have news in this regard as well. We focus on the Indian and Chinese markets. We are expanding our involvement in all directions – passenger transportation, cargo shipments, and tourist destination offers for the market,” Ananyan said, adding that Flyone Armenia is the top aviation taxpayer among Armenian airlines.
