Tbilisi – Yerevan Flights: Airlines, Flight Time and Cheap Tickets

Planning a trip from Tbilisi to Yerevan and hoping to find cheap flight tickets? This guide brings together everything that will help you plan the journey — from the airlines serving the route to practical tips on booking.

Yerevan is one of the oldest cities in the world, and its history and culture draw the attention of a great many travellers. The city stands out above all for its architecture, which carries a strong Soviet-era imprint. Yerevan is sometimes called the “Pink City”, because most of its buildings are faced with stone of exactly that colour.

Which airlines fly from Tbilisi to Yerevan?

There is a fairly wide choice of flights from Tbilisi International Airport to Yerevan. Both direct and connecting services operate on the route.

Over the years three airlines have offered non-stop flights from Tbilisi to Yerevan, two of them Georgian carriers: Georgian Airways and Myway Airlines flew from Tbilisi airport to Yerevan International Airport, and the Armenian carrier Armenia Aircompany also operated non-stop between the two capitals.

As for connecting flights, the Ukrainian airlines Skyup Airlines and FlyUIA used to serve the route, taking passengers from Tbilisi to Yerevan with a change in Kyiv.

Besides the Ukrainian carriers, the Belarusian airline Belavia has also offered connecting flights from Tbilisi to Yerevan with a stopover in Minsk.

Who currently operates direct Tbilisi — Yerevan flights?

The line-up of airlines on this route has changed more than once: some carriers have ceased operations, while others have added new services. Today non-stop flights between Tbilisi and Yerevan are operated mainly by two airlines — Georgian Airways and the Armenian carrier FlyOne Armenia. Flights run several times a week and the timetable changes with the season, so always check the current schedule in our search engine before you book.

Which airline offers the cheapest tickets to Yerevan?

There is no single carrier that is always cheapest on this route. Because the flight is short and only a couple of airlines serve it non-stop, fares move mainly with the date and how far ahead you book, so it pays to compare both carriers for your travel dates rather than sticking to one airline.

How long is the flight from Tbilisi to Yerevan?

The non-stop flight from Tbilisi to Yerevan takes only about 30-40 minutes in the air. With a connecting flight, the total journey depends on how long the layover at the transfer airport lasts.

When is the best time to travel to Yerevan?

October and November are the best months for a trip to Yerevan. The weather is pleasant at that time of year, and both flight tickets and hotels are reasonably priced.

From Zvartnots Airport to central Yerevan

Yerevan’s international airport, Zvartnots (EVN), lies roughly 12-15 kilometres west of the city centre. There are several ways to reach town:

• Express bus — the cheapest option; the route links the airport with the centre, including Republic Square and Mashtots Avenue.
• Taxi — both taxis waiting at the terminal and ride-hailing apps are available; the drive to the centre usually takes about 20 minutes.
• Car hire — several rental companies operate at the airport, which is convenient if you also plan to travel around the region.

What to know before you go

• No time difference — Georgia and Armenia share the same time zone, so there is no need to reset your watch on arrival.
• Currency — payments in Armenia are made in Armenian dram (AMD). You can change money at the airport, although exchange offices in the city usually offer a better rate.
• Distance and flight time — the two capitals are only about 175 kilometres apart as the crow flies, which is why the non-stop flight is so short; scheduled block time, take-off and landing included, is normally under an hour.
• Baggage — on flights this short the cheapest fare often covers hand luggage only. Check carefully what baggage is included in the price and how much an extra suitcase costs before you book.
• Overland alternative — buses and minibuses run regularly between Tbilisi and Yerevan. That option is cheaper, but the journey takes several hours rather than minutes.

What to see in Yerevan

• Republic Square — the city’s main square, with its singing fountains in the evening.
• The Cascade — a giant stairway and contemporary art centre; in clear weather Mount Ararat is visible from the upper terrace.
• Matenadaran — the institute and museum of ancient manuscripts, the great treasury of Armenian literature.
• Vernissage — an open-air market full of handmade goods and souvenirs.
• Garni and Geghard — a pagan temple and a monastery carved into the rock, both within reach of Yerevan on a day trip.
