A new direct airline route between London Luton Airport and Zvartnots International Airport in Yerevan launched on May 8, with an official opening ceremony held in London. Armenian Ambassador Nersesyan highlighted the route's significance for strengthening bilateral relations between Armenia and the United Kingdom.
The ambassador noted that the direct connection is expected to boost tourism, business partnerships, educational exchanges, and cultural cooperation between the two nations. He emphasized that improved air connectivity facilitates people-to-people contact and creates opportunities for cross-sector collaboration.
