The choice of Armenia as the next destination was not accidental.

There are a number of Armenian shops and restaurants there.
“This is the right time to enter the Armenian market. I think this will contribute to the development of tourism,” Husam Raidan, Air Arabia Airline Head of Corporate Clients and Costumer Relations Department, told a press conference in Yerevan.
