Shirak Avia is a private Armenian airline founded in 2019 and headquartered at Zvartnots International Airport (EVN) in Yerevan. The airline received its Air Operator Certificate in January 2021 and launched commercial flights in mid-2022. The airline serves as a key air bridge between Armenia and Russia, focusing on direct connectivity to regional centers often underserved by larger carriers. As of April 2026, Shirak Avia has a small specialized fleet of Boeing 737-500 and 737-800 aircraft. The planes are equipped with a one-class economy class cabin, designed in such a way that fares remain competitive. The Boeing 737-500 aircraft with registration EK-SHA became the company's first aircraft and was named Hovhannes Shiraz in honor of the Armenian poet and public figure.
