YEREVAN, June 14. /ARKA/. Armenia and Tajikistan are considering the possibility of launching direct flights between the two countries, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said on Wednesday during a joint briefing with the visiting Tajik President Emomali Rahmon, who is on an official visit to Armenia June 14-15.
The Armenian leader said this issue was discussed in the context of economy, tourism and expansion of contacts between the citizens of the two countries. During Rahmon's visit, a number of agreements were signed, including intergovernmental agreements on mutual visits of citizens and air communication.
In October 2013, the Armenian government introduced the open sky policy ‘to ensure competitive conditions for air service providers in the Armenian market.’ The policy is based on the results of a joint study by McKinsey & Company and the National Competitiveness Foundation of Armenia.
Since then Aegean Airways, Georgian Airways, Iraqi Airways, Al Naser, Mahan Air, Middle East Airways, S7 Airlines, Czech and LOT began operating flights to Armenia. In June 2016, Russia’s Saratov Airlines and Ural Airlines started operating fights to Armenia. Pobeda, a Russian low-cost airline began operating flights to Armenia from Moscow earlier this month. Russia’s Rosaviation gave its permission to Ikar (PEGAS FLY brand), Nordwind Airlines and Izhavia to operate flights to Armenia. --0—
