‘ARMAVIA’ PRESENTED THE NEW A-319 AIRPLANE
Yerevan, March 31. ArmInfo. Armavia company has purchased an A-319
airbus. On the presentation of the airbus the head of ‘Mika Limited’
and owner of Armavia Mikhail Bagdasarov noted that the technical
equipment of Armevia is being renewed and its customers serviced
at a high level. Armavia strives to insure security and reliability
therefore it could not be included in the recently published list of
insecure air companies.
In the interview to ArmInfo, Mikhail Baghdasarov said that in May
the company will purchase another A319 plane on leasing grounds. In
fact, there will be 5 air busses, 2 planes YAK-42, one IL-86 and one
YAK 40. He emphasized the importance of the fact that the purchased
planes are almost new. “Such planes will impart the company with a
special status both in CIS and in Europe,” Bagdasarov stated.
The company is in good terms with “Aeroflot,” “Sibir” “Krasavia,” as
well as with “Air France,” “KLM,” “British Airways,” and “Leufthanza”
air companies. He stated that this is conditioned by the fact that
“Armavia” follows a right path. “I want to say that at present, there
are a number of new directions for the activities of our company
and they will yield good results. I think that the company should
pull itself together. In case, we manage to do that, we will become
very powerful. This means that we should correct the drawbacks that
developed the Armenian aviation for over 10 years. The situations
changes so briefly that we may face its full revival very soon,”
Bagdasarov said.
Bagdasarov says that together with AirFrance Armavia will resume
flights to Paris; in the summer the company will start flying to Anapa
and Donetsk; and is considering resuming flights to St.Petersburg,
Samara, Odessa, Simferopol, Beirut, Aleppo and Athens.
The flight to Tel Aviv will be resumed after the opening of an Israeli
consulate in Yerevan. During holidays Armavia is going organize
charter flight to Cyprus and Antalia.
