Armenian Airlines lacks approval for flights to Russia, says ministry

The Russian Ministry of Transport has confirmed that Armenian Airlines does not have permission to operate flights to Russia, covering both charter and regular services.

The ministry stated that the Armenian carrier has not submitted any applications to the Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviation) requesting authorization for flights to Russian destinations, Caliber.Az reports, citing Russian media.

Despite the airline’s flights appearing in the seasonal schedules of airports in Ufa and Yekaterinburg, as of February 24, only Ufa’s airport timetable still listed the carrier.

The ministry emphasized that no formal requests from Armenian Airlines had been received for the ongoing winter season.
