PUBLIC COUNCIL INTRODUCED SUGGESTIONS REGARDING “ARMAVIA” TO PRESIDENT AND GOVERNMENT

14:53, 8 May, 2013

YEREVAN, MAY 8, ARMENPRESS. The Public Council has already introduced
its suggestions regarding the future of “Armavia” Air Company and the
status of national air carrier to the President and the Government
of the Republic of Armenia. The Council finds it necessary to have
national air carriers by providing competitive equal conditions. The
Public Council informed “Armenpress” that the program of recovery of
“Armavia” Air Company has also been introduced to the Government and
President of the Republic of Armenia. There are 9 points included
in the aforesaid program. In particular, “Armavia” Air Company
finds that its recovery depends upon restoring equality in the air
carriers market in Armenia, separation of concept of “basic” airport
from the concept of “national” air carrier, and support to the basic
air carriers in the issues regarding the airports in the Republic of
Armenia and other services as well.

Notwithstanding the Chief Department of Civil Aviation sees the
solution of the problem in the policy of “open heaven” saying that
it will foster the growth of competitiveness, “Armavia” Air Company
finds that the policy of “open air” will have a devastating impact
on the aviation.
