Operations

As of 2014, the airline only offered codeshare flights in cooperation with Austrian Airlines and Czech Airlines without operating any own aircraft. However they started to build up their own fleet with a sole pre-owned Airbus A320-200 with the aim to serve leisure destinations.[5]

According to the company's then business plan, the airline would operate flights from Yerevan to Tbilisi and Kutaisi airports in Georgia, as well as services to other destinations within the region. In 2020 summer season, Atlantis Armenian Airlines planned to operate flights from Yerevan to Vienna, Prague, and Athens, as well as to Kyiv and Moscow using Airbus A320 aircraft. The airline also intended to operate charter flights to various Greek Islands.

In August 2020, the Armenian authorities suspended the airlines licenses,[6] it subsequently ceased all operations for good on 20 February 2021.[4]
