ARMENIA SHOULD HAVE A NATIONAL AIR COMPANY, PILOTS SAY
YEREVAN, April 12. /ARKA/. Armenia must have a national air company,
aircraft commandeer Grigory Hayrapetyan said at a discussion on the
future of Armenian aviation Thursday.
There should be even two or three national air carriers, be it a
state-funded, private or other company, the pilot said.
According to Hayrapetyan, there is no guarantee that foreign air
carriers will do the same job for Armenia if a war begins tomorrow.
"We may step by step surrender everything, the aviation today and
something else tomorrow. On behalf of Armenian pilots I say this idea
is absolutely unacceptable for us", the aircraft commander said.
Hayrapetyan stressed that Armenia has been always known for its good
flying school and aviation management. Being small in size, Armenian
aviation still has kept leading positions in Soviet time in terms of
safety and reliability.
Armenian national air company Armavia announced about suspension of
its operations as from April 1 and the start of a bankruptcy process.
