Southern California, which is served by LAX, is home to over 500,000 Armenian Americans \u2013 many of whom travel to and from Armenia on a regular basis. I believe that establishing a direct flight between LAX and Yerevan will further strengthen the growing tourism and business ties between Southern California and Armenia and Artsakh.\u201d The letter was co-signed by members of the Select Committee on Artsakh \u2013 Senator Kevin De Leon, Senator Tony Mendoza, Senator Josh Newman, and Senator Scott Wilk. The Select Committee, which aims to create an opportunity to augment national efforts to expand trade and commerce between the US and Armenia and Artsakh, is chaired by Senator Portantino.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Earlier last month, the ANCA met with LAWA officials about launching direct flights between the United States and Armenia. The discussions with LAWA Chief Executive Officer Deborah Flint and Deputy Executive Director and Chief of External Affairs Trevor Daley provided an opportunity for a positive and constructive exchange of views about the practical steps needed to establish direct flights between LAX and Zvartnots Airport (EVN) in Yerevan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ANCA is calling on the U.S. Department of Transportation to support a public-private partnership regarding establishing U.S. to Armenia flights, involving U.S. airlines and relevant government agencies, among them the Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection, and Transportation Security Administration. The direct flights would include both passenger and cargo traffic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Armenian National Committee of America \u2013 Western Region is the largest and most influential Armenian-American grassroots advocacy organization in the Western United States.
