In the middle of the night time, this Friday in the early morning at 03:25, Lufthansa touched down for the first time since many years at Zvartnots International Airport.

This new scheduled nonstop service starts every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday evening in the German city of Frankfurt to land in Yerevan the next morning, still at night time. The early departure from Yerevan to Frankfurt is offered for Monday, Wednesday and Fridays, ensuring as well an early arrival in Frankfurt at 06:50 hrs.

This gives all passengers from Armenia almost all options to easily connect to further destinations, especially to all destinations across the Atlantic.

The German carrier starts this new scheduled service to Armenia just one week after its subsidiary Eurowings opened also a new route from Cologne. It is operating an Airbus A319 with 138 seats to fly travellers from and to Armenia from all over the world in four hours to Yerevan.



This new route to Frankfurt, spanning 2,992 km, will be an important connection for Armenians to visit each other and meet their communities and families in the whole world.

Yerevan is now the only destination in the whole Caucasus region where Lufthansa Group is offering 16 weekly flights with four different airlines:

- Austrian Airlines operating to Vienna daily, already since 2001,

- Brussels Airlines connecting to the European capital Brussels five times a week,

- Eurowings (one a week) and Lufthansa (three times a week) just opened their new routes this August.

“Today one of the most prestigious and reliable air companies in the world started to fly to Armenia. I’m sure that everybody is very happy to receive a new airline and to have access to new destinations. The presence of Lufthansa will for sure encourage new tourists to visit the country and Armenian economy will benefit from it,” said Marelo Wende, Director of Armenia International Airport CJSC.

“We believe that this ancient city will see more visitors in the future as we recognise our important role for the development of the local tourism sector. 16 weekly flights to four different hubs offer full flexibility and always a convenient travel option,” noted Peter Pullem, Senior Director Sales, Eastern Europe, Lufthansa Group Airlines.

Lufthansa provides its customers a premium service on board and at its hub in Frankfurt. This new flight is available in Business and Economy Class.

On its connecting long-haul services, passengers can book seats in addition in First Class and Premium Economy Class. The brand new catering concept “Lufthansa Onboard Delights” brings passengers in Economy Class a wide, high-quality range of food and beverages for purchase. The prices for meals and snacks will range from EUR 2 to about EUR 12. A bottle of water and a small chocolate surprise are served free of charge.

A return ticket to Frankfurt is already available starting at around 400 USD. Tickets can be booked in Armenia in travel agencies, via lufthansa.com or via a telephone call to the Lufthansa Service Centerbased in Lviv (Ukraine),where support and sales is provided in both English and Russian language.
