    ArmInfo. Armavia Company has opened a new Yerevan-Batumi flight. As
    Armavia President Mikhail Baghdasarov told ArmInfo, the primary goal
    of the new flight is assurance of comfortable delivery of those wishing
    to have a rest in the resort town of Batumi. 'In summer, many Armenians
    wish to have a rest in atumi and the adjacent surroundings. The number
    of the Armenians wishing to rest in Batumi has been growing over the
    last two years. Since the road is very long and it takes 8-12 hours, we
    decided to open this flight to improve the delivery of our passengers
    to Batumi', M. Baghdasarov emphasized. According to him, when Armavia
    opened Yerevan-Tbilisi flight, many said that was unprofitable,
    however, today, Armavia takes the third place by the number of
    passengers being carried to Tbilisi airport. 'I think Batumi will not
    become an exception either>, the company president said. He emphasized
    that the first flight may be not so profitable, however, Armavia has
    an agreement reached with Batumi airport regarding implementation of
    certain discounts. 'We should make the flight available for a great
    number of the people wishing to rest in Batumi', M. Baghdasarov said.

    For his part, Director General of Armavia Norayr Belluyan said
    responding to journalists' questions, that Yerevan-Batumi flight will
    be carried out once a week on Sundays. According to him, Yerevan-Batumi
    flight is very profitable as regards funds and time saving. He added
    that it is scheduled to carry out Yerevan-Batumi flights till the
    end of the rest season, however, the fight will become regular if
    it is profitable. N. Belluyan also said that Armavia will open new
    Yerevan-Rome flight on July 15. Moreover, he expressed hope that the
    company will keep its promise and open new Yerevan-Los Angeles flight
    till late, 2009.

    To note, the first Yerevan-Batumi flight was carried out by Airbus
    A 319.

    The flight lasts 40 minutes and the ticket "to and from" makes up
    71,000 drams.
