Armenia’s civil aviation regulator has cancelled the air operator’s certificate of local carrier Taron-Avia.
The country’s civil aviation committee says it carried out inspections on the operator and “identified defects”.
Taron-Avia’s operating certificate was subsequently suspended for six months, it adds, to give the airline time to correct the problems.
“But the company has made a decision to cease operating,” says the regulator and, as a result, the committee has “terminated” its certificate.
Taron-Avia’s schedule indicates that it had been serving Moscow Vnukovo from the Armenian capital Yerevan, as well as Moscow Domodedovo, Samara and Krasnodar from Gyumri.
It was primarily operating Boeing 737-500s.
Taron-Avia says it was founded in 2007 and intended to serve demand for low-cost short-haul connections in the region.
