LOT Polish Airlines will resume direct flights to Yerevan in June, Deputy Minister of the Economy, Tomasz Tomczykiewicz, said citing LOT General Manager at the third meeting of the Armenian-Polish Parliamentary Committee in Yerevan on April 22.
"It is difficult to speak of development of bilateral economic ties without direct air communication," he said.
To recall, the Polish Airlines along with British Airways and Air Baltic (Lavtia) stopped flights to Yerevan in the middle of the last year. Head of the Chief Civil Aviation Department of Armenia Artyom Movsisyan told media in late March that the companies left the country "for commercial reasons." Among such reasons was lack of "open sky" policy and the high service prices at Zvartnots Airport. At present, after Armavia national air carrier announced a bankruptcy procedure, the following companies make flights to Armenia: Aeroflot, SarAvia, S7, Polet Airlines, UTair, Transaero, Lufthansa, Air France, Austrian Airlines, Aseman Airlines, Czech Airlines, and Fly Dubai.
