YEREVAN. - Having passed through registration, customs, and the
special control area, passengers of the Austrian Airlines flight from
Vienna to Armenian capital Yerevan on October 14 heard an unexpected
announcement that one of the pilots is ill, the flight is postponed,
and there are no back-up personnel, Yerkir daily writes.
"And since the Vienna airport is closed at nights, the passengers were
suggested to spend the night on location, until the airport opens at
8 a.m., and that they would receive information about their return
[flight] at 10 a.m. The passengers also included Lilit Galstyan, Artak
Zakaryan, and Styopa Safaryan, members of Armenia's parliamentary
delegation to Euronest.
The MPs immediately cited international laws, according to which the
passengers must be refunded and provided with food and basic needs. At
first, the airport staff called the police, and subsequently, as a
result of talks, the women and children were provided resting rooms,
whereas the remaining welcomed the dawn on foot.
And they arrived in Yerevan by indirect routes. For example, one of
the MPs arrived via London. The passengers of this flight are now
collecting signatures to file a lawsuit against Austrian Airlines,"
Yerkir daily writes.
