    Borajet Claims Not Enough Passengers for Yerevan-Van Flights

    Conflicting reasons for the cancellation of direct flights between
    Yerevan and Van have appeared in the Turkish press.

    Hurriyet Daily News says that according to Deputy Governor of Van
    Mehmet Yüzer, Borajet, the company handling the flights, pulled out of
    the agreement after a low number of passengers on the initial runs.

    This runs counter to the claim of Narekavank, a tour agency in
    Armenia, that the decision to cancel the flights was made on March 28
    by Turkey's General Department of Civil Aviation.

    Hurriyet says that Turkey's Directorate General of Civil Aviation
    declined to comment and BoraJet officials reaffirmed that the reason
    for the cancellation were passenger numbers far below the capacity of
    the flights.

    Yüzer also said the Directorate did not inform them of any such issue
    and that the decision was made only by BoraJet.

    `We were not informed by Turkey's Directorate General of Civil
    Aviation to cancel the flights. The necessary permissions were already
    granted by Iran and Armenia,' Yüzer told the Hürriyet Daily News on
    March 29 in a phone interview.

    The flights were planned to operate on April 3.
