Armavia plans to resume flights to Aleppo, Syria
YEREVAN. Sept 8
The Armenian national air carrier, Armavia, plans to resume flights to
the second largest Syrian city of Aleppo.
“The reason for resuming flights is that the people want to return
home,” the airline’s press service reported on Saturday.
Armavia plans a flight to Aleppo on September 9 to transport Syrian
children vacationing in Armenia back home, and it will resume regular
flights to Aleppo on September 10.
Armavia suspended flights to Aleppo on September 3, referring to the
Free Syrian Army’s threats that it might start shooting down
commercial aircraft.
