    The European Union (EU) has released a list of 4,000 air carriers
    that are obliged to reduce carbonic gas emissions by 2012. Otherwise,
    they will not have the right to fly through the European air space
    and land at European airports. The EU offers air carriers to conduct
    emission monitoring before January 1, 2010. A relevant law was adopted
    in Europe this January.

    Armavia airlines (Armenia) is on this list as well. Mil Armenia and
    Blue Airways (allegedly Armenian airlines) are reportedly in the list.

    Talking to NEWS.am, Nelly Cherchinyan, Press Secretary of the General
    Department of Civil Aviation at RA Government (GDCA) said that Mil
    Armenia and Blue Airways are not registered in Armenia as Armenian air
    carriers. She stated that Armavia meets all European standards. "We
    have no airline that would pollute the air. The information does not
    quadrate to the facts," she said.

    Armavia told NEWS.am that the EU-released list is an international
    requirement applied to all air carriers. "The aim of the warning is
    to promote gas emission reduction. No airline will have problems if
    they reduce emissions to a minimum."

    One hundred Russian airlines, including Aeroflot, are on the list,
    along with U.S. and European airlines, such as Lufthansa (Germany),
    Alitalia (Italy), Quantas (Spain) and KLM (French-Dutch airline).
