Re: Armenian National Aviation

It is hard to compete against the big Russian airlines in the Armenian market. Air Armenia has not preferential treatment from our government. I do think, that the Government should support a state airline, like Russian Government owns 51% of Aeroflot. A national Armenian airline is imperative for us.

I don't understand how it can help. The open sky policy just led to strengthening of Russian carriers, especially Aeroflot, because most Armenians travel to Russia from Armenia. This should have always been expected. I would like to see some low-cost European carriers enter the Armenian market, like in Tbilisi.

Re: Armenian National Aviation

More good news.......Boing is a good company and could really enhance and expand and create new Armenian Airlines with competitive pricing of tickets.

There is no danger with this as long as the Airlines are actually owned by Armenia.
