Head of Armavia Airlines Mikhail Bagdasarov insists that the A-320
plane that was flying from Yerevan to Sochi, was in perfect state.
According to him, in April the airbus was subjected to a major overhaul
in Belgium and was filled in with 10 tons of fuel before the flight.
"The crew consisted of professionals. If the first command to come
back had been fulfilled, there were no problems," Bagdasarov said.
"The plane and passengers were insured by an Armenian company, which,
in turn, reinsured risks in London. About $20,000 will be paid to
family of every victim. Of course, I understand, that this loss
cannot be made up for by money," Bagdasarov is quoted as saying by
Radio Liberty.
The Armenian Grand Insurance Company, which insured passengers of the
A-320 flight, earlier denied reports on its intention to pay $20,000
worth compensations to the relatives. Head of Grand Artak Antonyan
announced that passengers and the crew of the A-320 airbus belonging
to Armavia and the passengers were reinsured by an insurance company in
London. The sum of compensation to the relatives will determined after
representatives of the London company visit Armenia and familiarize
themselves with all the details.
