History
editThe airline was founded in 2007[2] and originally had four Boeing 737-500 aircraft.[3]
The company had temporarily ceased operations in 2018 however it had since resumed operations.[4]
Taron-Avia operated regular and charter flights from Shirak International Airport and Zvartnots International Airport.[5] As of June 2019, Taron Avia had focused its efforts on the transfer of Georgian citizens to and from Russia via Armenia, following Russian President Vladimir Putin’s order on suspending Russian flights to Georgia.[4]
In November 2019, the Armenian aviation authorities revoked the airlines operational license forcing them to suspend all operations after inspections turned out insufficient outcomes.[1]
