Atlantis Armenian Airlines LLC, alternatively recognized as Atlantis European Airways, was an Armenian carrier established in 2004 that terminated its services on 20 February 2021. Based in Yerevan, Armenia, the company initially operated without owning aircraft, relying instead on codeshare partnerships with Austrian Airlines and Czech Airlines.
Operations
Starting in 2014, Atlantis began assembling its own aircraft lineup by acquiring a used Airbus A320-200, focusing on leisure travel destinations. The airline's strategy centered on routes connecting Yerevan with Georgian cities such as Tbilisi and Kutaisi, aiming to broaden its regional presence. During the summer of 2020, plans were set to launch flights from Yerevan to several European capitals including Vienna, Prague, Athens, alongside Kyiv and Moscow, employing Airbus A320 planes. The carrier also intended to offer charter services to multiple Greek island locations.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, Atlantis conducted a special repatriation flight from Rome back to Yerevan. Nevertheless, by August 2020, Armenian regulators revoked the airline's operating licenses, resulting in the full suspension of operations by February 2021.
