History
Established in 2019, Shirak Avia initially obtained a Boeing 737-500, which has been leased out to Armenia Airways since December 2020. In March 2022, the airline added a Boeing 737-800 to its fleet under a leasing agreement, aiming to commence regular passenger flights on 14 July 2022, beginning with routes to Moscow’s Vnukovo International Airport.
Destinations
By June 2023, Shirak Avia's route network included several destinations within Armenia and Russia, with previous services extending to Georgia and the Maldives. Its principal base remains Yerevan’s Zvartnots International Airport. The airline’s Russian connections encompass cities such as Moscow, Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk, and Saratov. Certain services, including those to Georgia and Russian cities like Astrakhan and Omsk, have been either discontinued or temporarily halted. Shirak Avia continues to refine its route structure, concentrating on key markets within Armenia and Russia.
