The chief of Armenia's General Department of Civil Aviation, Sergey Avetisyan, has left for Germany for talks with Lufthansa.

In a conversation with PanARMENIAN.Net, DGCA spokeswoman Satenik Hovhannisyan declined to elaborate, stating that more details will be provided when the official visit, slated for September 15-17, concludes.

Lufthansa is the largest German airline and, when combined with its subsidiaries, also the largest airline in Europe, in terms of fleet size, as well as the second largest airline in terms of passengers carried during 2016. It operates services to 18 domestic and 197 international destinations in 78 countries across Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe, using a fleet of more than 270 aircraft.
