Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, will discontinue services to Yerevan in Armenia, as part of its network and schedule adjustments for the summer 2015 season.

According to the statement, received from the Etihad Airways, flights between Abu Dhabi and Yerevan will continue to operate as normal under the current four-times-per-week frequency until 1 September 2015, allowing passengers with existing bookings over the summer season to complete their journey with Etihad Airways.
 
An Etihad Airways spokesperson said that “the service has been well received by the community in Armenia following the launch last year, and customer feedback remains very positive, with travellers welcoming Etihad Airways’ award-winning products and services”.

“We regularly review our operating schedules to ensure we are utilising our aircraft to capitalise on traffic flows and to meet market demands. We will continue to evaluate opportunities in the future.

“We will also be working with our local staff impacted by this decision, to explore alternative employment opportunities with our local partners in Yerevan, or across the Etihad Airways global network”, - spokesperson of Etihad Airways said.

Etihad Airways regrets any inconvenience this network adjustment may cause. Along with our travel agency partners, we will notify affected guests of the changes to their itineraries and re-accommodate them on other flights that meet their travel needs, - statement says.
