Armenia’s national carrier not facing bankruptcy

Armenia’s national carrier Armavia is not facing bankruptcy, said company’s owner Mikhail Bagdasarov.
He said that the company’s financial position is stable. Armavia has adopted a new strategy – to purchase expensive planes at the expense of increasing credits, he told journalists on Wednesday.
“Presently world demand for aircrafts is inferior to the offer, therefore prices for air carriers have decreased. Armavia prefers to purchase planes at the expense of new loans instead of renting them,” he added. Bagdasarov stressed that Armavia’s loans exceed $40 million.
He also noted that some airports, in particular Domodedovo and Vnukovo reduced prices for their services.
“As regards Yerevan’s Zvartnots airport, the situation has not changed. It is the third most expensive airport,” said Bagdasarov.

The second Sukhoy Superjet 100 passenger aircraft will arrive in Armenia in August or September, Armavia national carrier president, Mikhail Bagdasarov, told journalists today.

Short-haul passenger aircraft Sukhoy Superjet 100 is designed to carry up to 98 passengers at a distance of 4,400 km.

Armavia has attracted about $40 million in loans for the purchase of aircrafts, Bagdasarov said.

"We are moving gradually away from the principle of leasing aircrafts, because it is more expedient now to acquire them," said Bagdasarov, explaining that renting and leasing prices are quite high, and the large supply of aircrafts at the market has led to significant declines in their prices.

He also declined media speculations that the carrier is threatened by bankruptcy.
