Armenia, India discuss possible direct flights

ArmInfo.  The Armenian Minister of Economy held a brief meeting with the Indian Minister of Civil Aviation, Kinjarapu Ram Mohan Naidu.

According to the press service of the Ministry of Economy, the  meeting took place during the official reception of the CII  Partnership Summit 2025. The parties discussed the possibility of  establishing direct flights between Armenia and India.

It is worth noting that the Indian Minister of Civil Aviation  discussed this issue in September of this year with the Armenian  Ambassador to India, Vahagn Afyan, during an event organized for the  heads of diplomatic missions accredited in New Delhi.

As reported by the press service of the Armenian Embassy in India,  Afyan, given the friendly relations between the two countries, deemed  it necessary to take active steps to ensure air connectivity and  launch the necessary direct flights. Ram Mohan Naidoo responded  positively and assured of the proper progress.

As a reminder, back in January of this year, Armenian Airlines  announced the launch of a Yerevan-Delhi service, which was to become  the first direct flight linking Armenia and India. Flights were  expected to begin on February 21st, with a frequency of twice a  week-on Tuesdays and Fridays-using Airbus 321- 200 aircraft, each  with a capacity of 220 passengers. However, since this announcement,  no further information has been received regarding the service's  implementation.
