    An airplane A-320 belonging to the Armenian air company Armavia that
    crashed in the Black Sea on Wednesday has passed all planned checks
    and the repairs in April, chief of the main civil aviation department
    in the Armenian government Artyom Movsesian said at a briefing in
    the Armenian presidential staff after a meeting with the Armenian
    president over the air crash.

    This Airbus was produced in 1995 and passed all planned checks and
    the repairs in April 2006, Movsesian emphasized.

    He noted that before the flight the technical staff of the Belgian
    aviation maintenance company Sabena Technics conducted a check and
    drew conclusions about a full technical serviceability of the airliner.

    The airplane was fueled with ten tonnes of good aviation kerosene
    and had enough fuel to fly back to Yerevan, Movsesian pointed out.

    Spokesman of the air company Sibir Yevgeny Filyanin, this air company
    did not service the crashed airplane.

    The airplane was carrying 113 people. According to the Russian Foreign
    Ministry and the Emergencies Ministry, 26 Russian citizens mainly of
    Armenian origin were aboard the plane.

    The bad weather conditions near the Sochi airport are the main version
    of the crash. All details of the crash will be clarified after the
    investigating committee has completed its work and deciphered the
    flight recorders.
