YEREVAN. - As of Thursday 11am, Armenian capital city Yerevan's
ZvartnotsInternationalAirport has again suspended its services rendered
to Armavia Airline Company-which is Armenia's national carrier-the
airport's press secretary Gevorg Abrahamyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
He noted that the resumption of Armavia flights will depend solely
on the company, as to when it will take measures to reduce its debt
to the airport.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, the Zvartnots International
Airport suspended its services rendered to the flights of Armavia
on Wednesday, but the company transferred AMD 90 million (approx. $
221,575) to Zvartnots and, as a result, the flights resumed. Armavia's
total debt is $3,360,000, which is one million dollars more than
the limit.
To note, Armavia's flights were grounded in med-September as well,
but, subsequently, the Armenia International Airports Company-which
owns ZvartnotsInternationalAirport-had resumed Armavia's flights
because arrangement was made on the payment of debts.
The conflict between Armavia and ArmeniaInternationalAirports continues
for several months. Zvartnots had suspended Armavia's flights a
number of times, and for exceeding the limit for outstanding debts,
but the parties had come to an agreement as a result of negotiations.
