‘AUTHORITIES’ SILENCE IS INCOMPREHENSIBLE’
04:06 PM | TODAY | SOCIAL
The bankruptcy of Armenian national carrier, Armavia Air Company,
was the result of monopoly, says Shahen Petrosyan, former head of
the Armenian Civil Aviation.
He says there is only one option in the given situation. “Armenia
needs to have two air carriers – public and private. This will ensure
healthy competition,” Petrosyan said at the Media Centre.
He is angered by the continuing silence of the authorities.
“Actually, Armavia has run into debts and is disallowed to operate
flights. The field is on the verge of destruction while the authorities
are still silent,” he said.
“The state has not had clear strategy on the issue since 1991,”
said Izabella Muradyan, Deputy Chairperson of Air Communication
Subcommittee of the Public Council. She thinks that Armenia should
have airline regulations.
