Artsakh Air (also Artsakhavia ) is a Nagorno-Karabakh airline based in Stepanakert and based at Stepanakert Airport there . It plans to connect the de facto independent Republic of Artsakh (formerly: Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh), which belongs to Azerbaijan under international law , but is predominantly inhabited by Armenians , with Armenia . It is owned by the Nagorno-Karabakh de facto government.
history
Since Nagorno-Karabakh is not recognized as a state, the airline would have to be registered in accordance with international conventions via Azerbaijan. However, Azerbaijan has so far refused to do so and has also announced that flights from Yerevan to Stepanakert could be shot down. According to international conventions, Armenia would also be forced to take action against the airline in the event of the unauthorized start of flight operations.
The then Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan announced in 2012 that he wanted to be one of the airline's first passengers.
aims
Flight operations have not yet started. In the future, the following goals should be served:
-
Stepanakert Airport (home airport) -
Yerevan airport
The planned connection last existed in 1991.
fleet
As of July 2016, the fleet consists of 3 aircraft that were ordered from the time it was founded and then delivered.
| number | Aircraft type | price |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | Bombardier Canadair Regional Jet 200 | $ 15 million each |
