Atlantis Armenian Airlines LLC,^[1] commonly known as Atlantis European Airways,^[2]^[3] was an airline of Armenia. Founded in 2004. The airline ceased operations on 20 February 2021.^{[citation needed]}

Operations

Initially, the airline operated flights exclusively to Vienna, where it connected to the Austrian Airlines network.^[4] The fleet consisted of a single Boeing 737-500.

As of 2014, it had no owned aircraft and only offered codeshare flights in cooperation with Austrian Airlines and Czech Airlines. After some time they started to build up their own fleet with a sole pre-owned Airbus A320-200 with the aim to reach leisure destinations.^[5]

According to the company's then business plan, the airline would operate flights from Yerevan to Tbilisi and Kutaisi airports in Georgia, as well as services to other destinations within the region. In 2020 summer season, Atlantis Armenian Airlines planned to operate flights from Yerevan to Vienna, Prague, and Athens, as well as to Kyiv and Moscow using Airbus A320 aircraft. The airline also intended to operate charter flights to various Greek Islands.^{[citation needed]}

In March 2020, the airline organized a special flight from Rome to Yerevan for Armenian citizens wishing to leave Italy due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[6] In August of that same year, the Armenian authorities suspended the airlines licenses^[7] and the company subsequently ceased all operations for good on 20 February 2021.^{[citation needed]}
