LUFTHANSA ENTERS ARMENIA’S AVIATION MARKET

YEREVAN, JUNE 3. ARMINFO. The first flight Munich-Yerevan-Munich
(DLH 3256/3257) will be carried out by Lufthansa June 3.

Regional Director for Russia and CIS Gunter Ott sats that the flight
will be carried out three time a week – Monday, Wednesday and Sunday
by Eirbus A319-320.

Ott says that Lufthansa has “shared” the German market with Armenia’s
national air carrier Armavia who will fly to Frankfurt. He says
that Lufthansa entering the Armenian market is due to the dynamic
development of the Armenian economy. Armenia is a poor country but it
is showing a promising development rate, says Ott noting that Lufhansa
coming into Armenia is a political, step too as this project was
lobbied by Armenian President Robert Kocharyan and German Chancellor
Gerhard Schreuder.

This year Lufthansa will increase the number of flights to the CIS
to 16. June 5 the company is starting to fly from Muchin to Tbilisi.

It should be noted that flying to Europe from Armenia are Armavia,
Austrian Airlines and British Airways.
