    ArmInfo. The prices for maintenance of aircrafts and service of air
    passengers in "Zvartnots" Yerevan airport are the highest in the
    region, the preliminary data of competitiveness of Armenia's air
    transport, carried out by experts of USAID programme "Competitive
    Armenian Private Sector" (CAPS) testify this.

    As CAPS consultant for Politics and Law Arsen Nazaryan told journalists
    today, the surveys were carried out in April-May, 2007, and 12
    countries were selected for comparative analysis. He said that the
    expenses for maintenance of one "Boeing" or "Airbus" aircraft in
    "Zvartnots" airport total $4 thsd, which may be compared only with the
    expenses in Baku airport. He also said that these expenses in Vienna
    make up $5,6 thsd, in Tbilisi - about $2 thsd, in Moscow "Domodedovo"
    airport - about $1 thsd. Service of air passengers in "Zvartnots"
    airport is also the most expensive. As A. Nazaryan said, the expenses
    per one passenger in Yerevan total about $60, while those in Vienna are
    equal to $30-35, in Baku - $50, in Tbilisi - $30, in Istanbul - $15, in
    Moscow - about $20.

    The consultant also said that almost half of the passenger carriage
    market in Armenia falls on the national carrier, the "Armavia" Company,
    followed by "Siberia Airlines" and "Aeroflot" - 11% each, "Ural
    Airlines" and "Austrian Airlines" - 4% each. Moscow (40%) is the main
    direction of flights from Armenia, that indicates a great
    centralization. Prague (9%) and Paris (5%) are the next, and the rest
    46% of directions have been distributed among 34 countries. The flights
    to Moscow are served by four air companies. 91% of regular flights from
    Armenia and back is carried out over the air space of Europe, only 5% -
    over Near East and only 4% - over Asia.
