Turkish aviation authorities have cancelled the permission previously granted to the Flyone Armenia airline to operate flights to Europe through Turkish airspace, news agency Reuters reported on Sunday citing Armenpress news agency.
Aram Ananyan, who is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Flyone Armenia Airline, told the news agency that they didn't even receive any advance notice.
Ananyan, said, "For reasons incomprehensible to us and without any visible grounds, Turkish aviation authorities cancelled the permission previously granted to the FlyOne Armenia airline to operate flights to Europe through Turkish airspace."
"Turkish aviation authorities implemented the cancellation without prior notification, putting our airline and our passengers in an uncomfortable situation," the chairman further added.

Armenia and Azerbaijan to hold peace settlement talks
In an attempt to normalise relations, Armenia and Azerbaijan will hold a new round of talks in Washington on Sunday. The talks come after weeks of rising tensions over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region.
News agencies reported that armed forces from the two Caucasus neighbours have often exchanged fire over the mountain enclave, which is officially regarded as part of Azerbaijan but is primarily populated by ethnic Armenians.
Azerbaijan last Sunday established a new checkpoint on the Lachin corridor, a road to Karabakh that passes through Azeri territory, in what Armenia described as a flagrant violation of a 2020 ceasefire.
The spokesperson, Ani Badalyan, said on her official Facebook page: "From April 30, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan will be in Washington DC on a working visit. The next round of discussions on the agreement on normalisation of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan is scheduled."
But so far, there was no immediate confirmation of the meeting by Azerbaijan.
