YEREVAN, DECEMBER 19, NOYAN TAPAN. The RA Civial Aviation Main
Department (CAMD) must take appropriate steps to regulate relations
with the aviation fuel filling services at Zvartnots Airport. The
RA State Commission on Protection of Economic Competition made this
decision at the December 19 sitting, taking into account several
cases of aviation fuel lack this year. According to the commission,
Zvartnots' manager - the company Armenia International Airports (AIA)
is obliged to carry out and guarantee natural and constant provision of
aviation services. However, the company's lawyer Armen Ter-Tachatian
said that by the concessional agreement signed with the Armenian
government, the company does not bear responsibility for lack of
fuel. For this reason the commission assigned the RA CAMD to apply to
the Armenian government with a proposal to make respective amendments
in the concessional agreement. In the words of the Commission Chairman
Ashot Shahnazarian, the story about aviation fuel lack is a "myth",
and all this is done to protect the importer's interests.
Otherwise, according to him, Armenian International Airports would
announce an ninternational tender for purchase of fuel from other
companies, which has not been done so far.
