YEREVAN, JANUARY 8, ARMENPRESS. Armenia Airways does not intend to suspend or delay its Yerevan-Tehran flights, the airline’s CEO Arlen Davudyan told ARMENPRESS .

“We aren’t planning to suspend the flights”, he said. He said they have no safety concerns whatsoever.

He said the airline will continue operating its flights as scheduled.

Armenia Airways currently operates 4 roundtrip flights per week from Yerevan to Tehran.

Major global airlines canceled Iran and Iraq flights on Wednesday and re-routed others away from both countries’ airspace, following an Iranian missile strike on United States-led forces in Iraq.

Germany’s Lufthansa, Dubai-based Emirates and low-cost flydubai were among airlines that canceled flights, as the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration barred American carriers from the area. But several other carriers continue operations.
