Turkmenistan and Armenia opened direct flights

ArmInfo. The timetable for the  flights of the Turkmenhovayollary Service (Turkmen Airlines) is  supplemented by another international route -  Ashgabat-Yerevan-Ashgabat, which connected the capitals of  Turkmenistan and Armenia, the press service of the Embassy of  Turkmenistan in Armenia reports.

As already reported, the opening of this direct air communication was  discussed during the official visit of the President of Turkmenistan  Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov to the Republic of Armenia in August this  year. The current implementation of the agreements reached at the  highest level in the shortest possible time demonstrates the  commitment of both sides to the effective use of the existing  potential for enhancing mutually beneficial cooperation.

With the opening of the Ashgabat-Yerevan direct flight, the national  carrier of Turkmenistan has increased its transport and transit  potential in the direction of the Caucasus region. The formation of a  ramified route network is continuing and soon new regional and  interregional lines will be included in it.

Turkmen airlines are steadily expanding the geography of their  international routes that help to build bridges of good-neighborly  relations with all interested countries of the world, effectively  using the systematically modernized fleet of civil aviation by  supplying the latest aircraft equipment of world famous  manufacturers.
