Armenian lawmakers include air fee in ticket price

YEREVAN, December 27. /ARKA/. The RA National Assembly (NA) amended on
Friday the laws on the State Duty and on Aviation.

The amendments stipulate for including the air fee into the air ticket
price, said Aharon Chilingaryan, deputy chairman of the RA State
Revenue Committee.

`In case of regular air transport services, the state duty will be
imposed on a company selling air tickets, whereas in case of
nonscheduled flights, as well as flights carried out by offshore
companies, the state duty will be imposed on the company running the
airport,’ he added.

The amendments also simplify the current reduced charges, including
those set for individuals with diplomatic passports. In return, the
lawmakers suggest exempting passengers from the duty in case of
short-haul flights not longer than 450km. `0–

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
