"Fortunately, local airlines register positive changes. From April 25 Taron Avia air company in Gyumri started flights in three directions: Krasnadar, Samara and Rostow-on-Don. This is another measure evidencing that Gyumri Shirak airport has big potential in tourism development as well. I think air company will occupy its well-deserved place both in our and foreign market", he stressed.
