YEREVAN. – The process of dismissing the pilots and the technical
staff has begun at Armavia Airline Company – which is Armenia’s national
carrier – for already close to a week, 168 Zham daily reports.

`The majority of the dismissed thirty pilots are preparing to
emigrate. Some of them were able to sign long-term contracts with
Aeroflot Russian Airlines and are preparing to leave Armenia with
[their] families.

Armavia has not paid five months’ salary of the pilots being let go.
Even though the company does not refuse [to pay] this debt, they do
not indicate any period, either,’ 168 Zham writes.
