Taron-Avia was[1] an Armenian airline headquartered in Yerevan. The airline halted all operations in 2019.
The airline was founded in 2007[2] and started unscheduled operations on that same year. Originally had a fleet of four Boeing 737-500s.[citation needed] Taron-Avia operated regular and charter flights from Shirak International Airport and Zvartnots International Airport.[3]
Schedules were launched in April 2017 but the company ceased them in 2018. They were later resumed.[4] As of June 2019, Taron Avia focused its efforts on the transfer of Georgian citizens to and from Russia via Armenia, following Russian President Vladimir Putin’s order on suspending Russian flights to Georgia.[4]
In November 2019, the Armenian aviation authorities revoked the airlines operational license forcing them to suspend all operations after inspections turned out insufficient outcomes.[1]
