TICKET PRICES SERIOUSLY GONE UP - ANC MP
11:37 ~U 30.04.13
Armenian National Congress faction MP Hrant Bagratyan says that the
difficult situation created in the Armenian aviation causes
complications for the people to reach Yerevan.
According to him, it is not agreed with high ticket prices only,
but with the difficulty to get tickets in general.
"No matter who comes he/she faces problem. All the tickets are very
expensive. In short, the prices for tickets have really gone up,"
he said, speaking to Tert.am, adding that it is not about few percent
rise but their prices have been raised few times.
Bagratyan said the claims that Armavia's bankruptcy has not resulted
in the growth of prices are not only lies but government's 'regular
focus.'
He said in aviation you cannot say that Yerevan-Moscow ticket costs
200,000 drams, "It is not so, the ticket price depends on time... I
have never seen professional approach by the government when they
are commenting on the prices," the ANC MP said.
He said Armavia has been made bankrupt on purpose, by taking money
from business which means it is impossible to revive it.
Bagratyan believes that for curing Armenia's aviation it is necessary
to have at least two national carriers. "It is wrong to give monopoly
to one. If it is done so, the situation will be the same. That is
why it is necessary to have two and if possible even three national
carriers," he said.
The MP said it means that the Government will adopt a law with which
it will give opportunity to the companies taking the first two or
three places in the tender to implement flights. "But the fact that
the executive does not hurry shows that it wants to give the aviation
to one company," he said.
"Currently an extremely complicated situation is being created in
the aviation for one company to get it, and monopoly be established,"
he concluded.
