The Armenian air company Air Armenia cannot be blamed for the debt to
the Russian State Corporation for Organization of the Air Traffic in
Russia, as it arose because of technical problems, Director of Air
Armenia, Arsen Avetisyan, told Arminfo correspondent.
He said that according to the arrangement, Air Armenia transferred
currency in US dollars at the account in CMP Bank, which renders
services to the State Corporation for Organization of Air Traffic
in Russia. However, because of the Western sanctions against Russia
linked with the events in Ukraine, the US dollar transfers at the
account in the bank were blocked and did not reach the recipient. So,
Air Armenia has arranged to make transfers in Russian rubles at the
account in another bank, Avetisyan said.
He also added that the past-due-debt of Air Armenia is $400 thsd and
will be paid off till 21 September. The current debt will be repaid
according to the repayment schedule, he said. "The flight navigation
service of Air Armenia will not stop and let passengers and clients
of the company not worry", - Avetisyan said.
To note, Russian mass media referring to the information of the
State Corporation for Organization of the Air Traffic in Russia, have
disseminated inaccurate information, according to which starting 21
September Russia will stop rendering the flight navigation service to
the Air Armenia because of the debt, the total sum of which amounted
to about $1,1 million. The past-due-debt of Air Armenia amounted to
$400 thsd and the current debt - $700 thsd.
Air Armenia is a private airline established in Armenian in 2003 and
based at Yerevan Zvartnots Airport. For 10 years since its foundation,
Air Armenia operated only cargo flights, except for a short period in
2003-2004 when it was contracted to operate passenger flights. Upon
liberalization of air passenger transportation policy in Armenia
in 2013, Air Armenia launched regular passenger services to Russia,
and is planning to expand to other destinations in the CIS and Europe.
