The American Armenian Caucus continues to advance the idea of ​​opening a direct flight between Los Angeles and Yerevan with government, business and civil society stakeholders in Armenia and the United States. This is reported by the committee.

Leading the committee’s efforts Zangu Armenian and a member of the Glendale City Council Zareh Sinanyan recently arrived in Yerevan to discuss with the officials the practical steps of opening the corresponding flight. During the same period, Pasadena Mayor Terry Thornek was also on an official visit to Yerevan. Thornek and Sinanian are the chairman and vice chairman, respectively, of the Hollywood-Burbank Airport Commission.

Earlier this year, ANCA members had discussions with Los Angeles International Airport Chief Executive Officer Deborah Flynt on the matter.

“We see interest from officials in exploring this initiative because connecting the largest Armenian-American community in the United States with Armenia will contribute to the development of tourism and business opportunities in both Los Angeles and Armenia,” said Zangu Armenian. tert.am:
