Armenia's national airline, Armavia, promised on Friday to consider increasing the frequency of its flights to Syria in order to help more ethnic Armenians flee the war-torn country.
The private carrier also denied sharply raising the cost of the weekly flights from Yerevan to the Syrian city of Aleppo.
Armavia resumed the regular service on July 9 after a more than four-month pause which it attributed to the worsening security situation in the Middle Eastern state home to an estimated 60,000-80,000 Armenians. Syria's national airline also carries out Aleppo-Yerevan flights on a weekly basis.
Both carriers say their flights have been fully booked until September, a fact indicating an unfolding exodus of Syrian Armenians. Hundreds of them are believed to have taken refuge in Armenia in recent months.
