NovAir is an Armenian airline that operates domestic scheduled and charter flights. The airline is the primary and sole operator of scheduled flights on the Yerevan (Zvartnots International Airport) – Kapan (Syunik Airport) route, providing an aerial link between the Syunik Province and the capital city.
History
The airline was founded on October 23, 2020. NovAir is owned by the Zangezur Copper Molybdenum Combine Charitable Foundation.
In 2023, the company launched test flights , followed by the commencement of regular scheduled operations to the newly constructed Syunik Airport.
Initially, NovAir operated two flights per week, which was subsequently expanded to three weekly flights. By the spring of 2025, the frequency was increased to five flights per week, operating from Monday to Friday.
On September 2, 2025, the airline announced a temporary suspension of flights on the Yerevan–Kapan–Yerevan route. According to a statement from the company's management, the suspension was due to scheduled technical maintenance of the aircraft, conducted to ensure passenger and flight safety.[2]
Following a maintenance period lasting approximately six months, NovAir resumed regular scheduled flights on the Yerevan–Kapan–Yerevan route on March 31, 2026.[3]
In June 2026, driven by increased passenger traffic and growing tourism interest, the company expanded its flight frequency, establishing two daily scheduled flights on Mondays and Fridays.

NovAir's flights are operated using a Czech-manufactured Let L-410 UVP-E20 passenger aircraft, which has a seating capacity of up to 17 passengers. The aircraft was manufactured in 2015.[5]
In 2025, NovAir's Let L-410 aircraft was ferried to the Czech Republic for scheduled heavy maintenance. The aircraft underwent a "C-check," a comprehensive maintenance procedure conducted every 10 years, during which the manufacturing company completely disassembles the aircraft, inspects its technical condition, and certifies it for return to service.[6][7][8]
