ARMENIA'S INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT RESPONDS TO AIRLINE COMPANY'S STRIKE
- YEREVAN. - The "Armenia" International Airports Company released a statement in response to the strike which the Armavia Airline Company announced on Tuesday morning.
"The Armavia Airline Company today halted its service to the Yerevan-Moscow and Yerevan-Rostov flights, and announced to the passengers that the service is halted because of the [Armenian capital Yerevan's Zvartnots International] Airport's high prices. Being the national carrier, Armavia Company benefits from our company's special prices. Furthermore, [and] because of the accumulated debts, Armavia Company is prohibited to carry out flights toward Russia and enter Russian air space.
Our company negatively assesses Armavia Airline Company's inappropriate exploitation and [its] unfounded and false comments, and regrets that solely the national carrier has found itself in such situation," the "Armenia" International Airports Company's statement specifically reads.
To note, Armavia Airline Company's Press Secretary Nana Avetisova earlier told Armenian News-NEWS.am that the Company declared a strike. She also informed that the strike will continue unless Zvartnots Airport changed its price policy.
