Dec 10, 2020 (newstodate): Obtaining its AOC in July 2020, FlyArmenia Airlines based at Yerevan has now taken delivery of its first aircraft.
Last week, the Boeing 737-400 was delivered at Yerevan Airport on a lease contract and will enter commercial service shortly.
FlyArmenia has lofty ambitions to serve routes from Yerevan to destinations in Russia, Europe and the Middle East, including Los Angeles, Beijing and Shanghai with a growing fleet of Boeing 737-800 and Boeing 737-400 aircraft, in addition to a freighter fleet comprising Airbus A300B4 and Boeing 747-200 converted aircraft.
But on June 2, 2020, the EU commission published a new updated version of its Air Safety List including a ban on all Armenian carriers after further assessment of the country's weak safety oversight capabilities.
Also, a Common Aviation Area Agreement negotiated and initialed in November 2017 by EU and Armenia is yet to be ratified.
