ArmInfo. The delegation of the national air carrier "Armavia" is
taking part in the annual air show Dubai Airshow 2009 being held in
Dubai on 15-19 November. As press-secretary of Armavia Nana Avetisova
reported, the delegation of Armavia is headed by the leaders of the
company Mikhail Bagdasarov and Norayr Belluyan, which always rake
part in different air shows, such as: Le Bourget/Paris, Farnborough
International Airshow/London, Airshow in Zhukovsky/Russia. The fact
that Armavia always rakes part in international air shows, is a member
of IATA and observes the demands of the ICAO makes it possible for
the company to always watch and implement international standards
of air carriage, including the last achievements in ensuring safety
of flights.
To note, the liner CRJ 200 was the last replenishment of the air
fleet of Armavia, which will implement flights to Minvodi, Stavropol,
Voronezh, Zurich, Athens and Rome. Since 26 October the company has
been implementing flight from Yerevan to Bahrein, which will lead to
development of tourism and activate the trade and economical links
between the two countries. At the beginning of the current year
Armavia rented a new Ð~B319-100 plane, and it is going to purchase
Ð~B330-200 at the beginning of next year. All this is evidence of
the fact that Armavia manages to resist not only negative affect of
the world financial crisis but also to develop ensuring high level
of service, meeting international standards of safety of flights and
regularly upgrade its air fleet.
Despite objective facts, certain mass media allowing publication
of incorrect data have been disseminating false and groundless
information on Armavia quite frequently recently. Those reports
aimed to mislead passengers. Thus, "Zhamanak" newspaper reported
that Armavia is allegedly offering flights Yerevan-Istanbul-Yerevan
for nearly 600 US dollars whereas the Georgian Airlines make two-way
flights to Istanbul for nearly 200 US dollars. In response to the given
reports, President of the Georgian Airlines T. Gaiashvili explained
that Georgian Airlines has not made flights to Istanbul for already
several years. It is noteworthy that Armavia Company does not offer
Yerevan-Istanbul-Yerevan flight for lack of diplomatic relations
between Armenia and Turkey at the given stage. Armavia is making
charter flights ordered by Bagrat -Tur Tourist Agency. The price
policy belongs to the Agency as well. Armavia just ensures safe and
comfortable flights providing its aircrafts.
For conclusion, Nana Avetisova said that an Armenian passenger is
intellectual and far seeing and Armavia has always been grateful to
its passengers and Mass Media for warm responses to the company’s
activity and gratitude. "Such provocations i.e. dissemination of
inaccurate and unconfirmed information contradicts objective facts
and cannot have any impact on passengers. The sustainable development
of the air company is the best evidence of the aforementioned."
