YEREVAN, January 13. /ARKA/. The Irish low-cost airline Ryanair said its maiden flight from the Italian Milan to the Armenian capital Yerevan is scheduled for January 14. According to its statement, its aircraft is expected to land at Armenia's Zvartnots international airport at 13.10 local time, if there are no delays.
Meanwhile, the head of Armenia's Civil Aviation Committee, Tatevik Revazyan, told reporters on Monday that the two-week strike of aviation workers that began in Italy on January 11 could lead to serious flight delays from that country, affecting in particular, Ryanair's scheduled flight to Yerevan.
According to her, the Italian civil aviation authorities promised to help prevent the delay of flights to Armenia, but it is not clear how the strike-caused developments may unwrap.
The strike is said to have partially paralyzed the airports of Rome, Bologna and several other regions of Italy. Organized by the trade unions Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl and Uiltrasporti, it involves pilots, cabin crew and ground service personnel of all airlines operating in Italy. Protesters are demanding a review of some rules and their salaries.
Earlier, David O'Brian, Irish low-cost airline sales manager, said direct flights from Yerevan to Europe would begin in January 2020. At the initial stage, the company will make flights to Yerevan from Rome, Milan and Berlin.
Later, twice weekly routes from Athens to Armenian Gyumri and from Thessalonica to Yerevan will start in May, as part of the low-cost carrier’s extended Armenia summer schedule. -0-
