[edit] History

Yerevan-Avia was established in 1992 under the initiative and direct participation of the Mayor of Yerevan, Mr. Hambartsum Galstyan. It became the first cargo airline in Armenia with privately owned aircraft. Starting practically from zero, the company managed to prepare highly qualified flight crews in a short period of time, as well as technical and engineering ground personnel trained entirely by recognized training institutions. Therefore, the majority of the necessary aircraft maintenance is being performed in house at their home base.

Yerevan-Avia started off with flights to CIS countries, which, later on, were extended to: France, Germany, Bulgaria, Italy, Holland, Belgium, China, India, Zaire, Congo, Kenya, Egypt, Australia… Its aircraft have already been in more than 35 countries.
