/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armavia meets all international standards. We
have new planes, Armavia meets all the requirements of IATA," the
president of Armavia Mikhail Bagdasarov said, commenting on the recent
decision by EU to include Armavia in the list of air carriers, which
flights may be banned in 2012 in the EU airports due to environmental
considerations. Under the new EU legislation, which will come into
force on January 1, 2012, all airlines flying into the EU must reduce
emissions of carbon dioxide.

Mikhail Bagdasarov informed, that the EU list includes four thousand
air carriers, such as Lufthansa, KLM and others, so it’s not just a
question of Armavia, it is the issue of all airlines.

"This problem applies not only to the airlines, but it is the problem
of aviation in general," Mikhail Bagdasarov said. "We have no problem,
-we fly and will fly," he said, press-service of Armavia reports.
