Buy Fly Arna Airways Flights with Alternative Airlines

Fly Arna has yet to launch as an airline, having not yet submitted an application for an Air Operator Certificate (as of September 2021). Fly Arna is expected to commence flights for the summer of 2022.

In the meantime, you can take a look at our list of alternative airlines below, to discover airlines that operate similar routes to the ones that might be flown by Fly Arna.

Fly Arna is a new startup airline, set to launch as Armenia’s new national flag carrier. The carrier will likely operate both domestic and international flights to the country.

Fly Arna is being established by Air Arabia Group, along with other investors, as a low-cost scheduled passenger carrier. It is also known that the airline will be based at Yerevan’s Zvartnots International Airport (EVN), the international airport serving Yerevan, the capital city of Armenia.

As it has yet to submit an application for an Air Operator Certificate (as of September 2021), information is still limited. The airline will likely submit an application before the end of 2021, meaning more information (including fleet, and an initial destination network) will follow shortly. The airline hopes to commence flights for the summer season in 2022.
