Flights en route Yerevan – Odessa – Yerevan will be operated weekly. Yerevan – Odessa flights will be operated on Saturdays, while Odessa – Yerevan flights will be operated on Fridays.

“The launch of direct flights between Yerevan and Odessa is another stage of UIA route network to the cities of Ukraine expansion program and another step to meet the demands of the passengers from Armenia, – noted Evgeniya Satska, UIA Corporate Press Secretary. – The contacts of Armenia and the Southern region of Ukraine are traditionally solid since a large expatriate Armenian community resides in Odessa region. From now on UIA provides passengers from Armenia with an opportunity to take advantage of UIA non-stop flights, to quickly and conveniently reach Odessa to visit family and friends, to arrange matters or to discover Ukraine”.
