An Armenian airline, Shirak Avia, has revealed its upcoming schedule to initiate direct flight operations connecting Yerevan to Bali, the Maldives, and Phuket beginning this coming November.
The aviation company emphasized that the introduction of these specific routes is designed to provide substantial comfort and ease for travelers from Armenia who are heading out to vacation spots scattered throughout Asia.
As stated in a publication by The Caspian Post, which referenced the Economy of Armenia, the weekly scheduled flights are set to create direct pathways from Armenia to three of the globe's most highly desired vacation hubs.
The very first voyage heading to the Maldives is mapped out for November 14, and all the following flights for this particular tropical spot will take place on Saturdays.
Passengers on this route will experience a technical pause so the aircraft can refuel in Muscat, Oman, with individual one-way tickets priced at a minimum of USD 455.
Meanwhile, air service connecting to Denpasar, Bali, is locked in to commence on November 1, with the weekly rotation flying out every Sunday.
The itinerary for the Bali route requires a refueling layover in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and one-way ticket costs are established to begin at USD 711.
Lastly, the opening trip over to Phuket, Thailand, is penciled in for November 5, with standard weekly flights persistently running every Thursday after that.
Much like the Bali route, the planes bound for Phuket will pass through Dhaka for a refueling break, and one-way fares for this destination are slated to kick off at 656 USD.
