Armenia’s FlyOne to launch in late 4Q21

FlyOne (Armenia) (Yerevan) has announced it will launch scheduled operations from Yerevan to seven international destinations starting on December 15, 2021.

The Armenian start-up plans to operate to Moscow Vnukovo (the destination of its inaugural flight, daily), Istanbul New (3x weekly), Tehran Imam Khomeini, Lyon St. Exupéry, Tel Aviv Ben Gurion, Krasnodar, Tbilisi, and Kutaisi (2x weekly each). Tickets for all routes are already available on the carrier’s internet booking engine. It is also offering connecting tickets via Vnukovo to Chisinau, with the second leg operated by its Moldovan sister carrier FlyOne (5F, Chisinau).

The airline is a 54/46 joint venture between a trio of Armenian entrepreneurs and FlyOne and received its Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) on October 26, 2021. However, the most recent update of the Armenian aircraft register, published on November 5, does not show any aircraft assigned to FlyOne, although the airline said it would operate A320 Family jets. Its Moldovan sister carrier operates one A319-100 and four A320-200s. Currently, all of them are active on FlyOne’s network out of Chisinau except for a single A320, ER-00006 (msn 4630), parked in Moldova since October 27, 2021.
