Armavia, is opening flights to Marseilles, Astrakhan and Riga. In
the summer the flights will become regular.

company will have two A-320, two A-319, a Yak-42, a Boeing-737-300,
IL-86 and CRJ-100ER. The last plane was bought on Feb 1 2008 and flies

planning to use the plane to fly to Tehran and Beirut.
Presently, Armavia flies to 29 cities in the CIS and Europe. On the
home market it successfully competes with British Airways, Air France,
Aeroflot, Czech Airlines, Austian Airlines, Lufthansa.
In 2007 Armavia was steadily developing and further improving its
safety system and quality of services. In 2007 the company carried

load grew to 106%, while the fuel consumption dropped to 98%.
The owner of Armavia, big businessman Mikhail Bagdasarov, and the
managers of the company give high priority to implementation of
new investment projects, introduction of information technologies,
application of a system approach to the safety of flights and,
certainly, to further improvement of the quality of services.
