Berlin/Turkmen/Armavia
jubilee & jpthomas72
Thanks for the info but as a family of four I think we will hold out for a direct flight or use some airmiles via FRA or DUS.
Turkmenistan
From another forum, not my work but this is the proposed timetable: -
BHX DEP
412 1 BIRMINGHAM ASHGABAT 1820 0540+1 10/30/2010 to 3/21/2011
416 2 BIRMINGHAM ASHGABAT 2050 0810 11/20/2010 to 3/22/20
422 3 BIRMINGHAM ASHGABAT 2155 0915+1 10/30/2010 to 3/23/2011
426 5 BIRMINGHAM ASHGABAT 1350 0110+1 10/30/2010 to 3/25/2011
418 6 BIRMINGHAM ASHGABAT 1510 0230+1 11/6/2010 to 3/19/2011
420 7 BIRMINGHAM ASHGABAT 1550 0310+1 10/31/2010 to 3/20/2011
430 7 BIRMINGHAM ASHGABAT 1640 0400+1 10/31/2010 to 3/20/2011"
So just the two flights on a Sunday. I seem to remember a similar schedule a few years back and it never happened however passenger numbers getting towards 6000 some months now on the four 757 flights. I think the above will be mainly if not all 737-800's.
Armavia
Per another global forum it is rumoured that Armavia are looking at starting Yerevan - Amritsar. BHX - EVN is bookable on Thursdays in November with a lovely arrival time in Yerevan (near midnight). Yerevan - Delhi was still flying Tuesday evenings so I assume some timetable adjustments shortly.
