Armenia's national airline, Armavia, has resumed regular flights to Syria amid a growing influx of Syrian nationals of Armenian descent fleeing the escalating violence in the troubled Middle Eastern state.
An Armavia plane flew to Aleppo, Syria's largest city, on Monday and returned to Yerevan the following day for the first time in nearly four months.
The company suspended the flight service in March, citing the worsening security situation. Air communication between the two countries has been carried out only by the Syrian Air airline since then. Its Yerevan-Aleppo flights have been fully booked until September, a fact that led to calls for Armavia to enable more Syrian Armenians to take refuge in their country of ancestors.
