Air Armenia (Yerevan) returned its pair of A320-200s, EK-32039 (cn 1439) and EK-32050 (cn 1450), to their respective lessors at the end of last month with both jets having now been flown from Yerevan to Woensdrecht via Amsterdam Schiphol on October 1.
The carrier was last month temporarily banned from Russian airspace after it failed to service a USD1.1million debt owed to Russia's Federal Air Navigation Service (Rosaeronavigatsia).
At present, the Armenian carrier is still operational albeit with a fleet of one A319-100 operated for the Armenian government and a B737-500 on its remaining scheduled services. It has cancelled some of its services following the return of the two A320-200s but still serves Sochi, Athens, Frankfurt International, Krasnodar, Moscow Vnukovo, Nizhny Novgorod Strigino, Paris CDG, Samara Kurumoch and St. Petersburg. Its route to Ekaterinburg seems to have been at least temporarily suspended.
