AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

New Direct Flight to Yerevan: A first seasonal charter route links Burgas (Bulgaria) and Yerevan, with weekly Tuesday flights (Bulgaria Air) running through August—aimed at boosting summer tourism and ties between the two countries. Tourism Momentum: Armenia logged a record first-half tourism run: 1.041 million visitors in 1H 2026 (up 14.8% year-on-year), with June alone reaching 216,200 arrivals. EU Visa Liberalisation Progress: Armenia’s visa liberalisation dialogue is in an active phase, with the EU praising advances in biometric systems, border management, migration and asylum; new red biometric passports are planned for autumn 2026. Healthcare Upgrade: Slavmed Medical Center performed Armenia’s first robotic remote surgery, with a urologist operating from Belgium on a patient in Yerevan. Armenian Culture in Yerevan: Golden Apricot International Film Festival runs July 12–19, featuring Ibrahim Maalouf (July 15 concert and jury role) and honorary guest Simon Abkarian. Travel Disruption Watch: Zvartnots Airport saw hours-long passport-control delays after multiple flights landed close together. Getting There by Air (UK): Wizz Air launched a direct London Luton–Yerevan route, cutting travel time to about five and a half hours.
