168 ZHAM: AIR ARMENIA SELLS TICKETS WITHOUT CARRYING OUT FLIGHT
10:01 * 30.10.14
Air Armenia did not carry out an earlier-announced flight from Yerevan
to Paris on Wednesday despite having already sold out the tickets.
What’s even worse, the passengers who spent hours at the airport, were
uninformed of the plan, the paper says, adding that the company had
earlier cancelled flights to the Russian cities of Novgorod and Sochi.
According to the paper, Air Armenia representatives dismiss the
reports about bankruptcy.
The paper says it yesterday contacted Vahan Harutyunyan, the company’s
owner, who reportedly switched off his phone knowing that the call
was from a journalist.
“Regrettable though it is, Air Armenia is day by day plunging deeper
and deeper into problems. The only Armenian airline, it has been
carrying out passenger transportation for just a year, but a poor
management and competition with foreign companies pose the risk of
speeding up the repetition of its predecessor Armavia’s bankruptcy
experience,” writers the paper.
