YEREVAN, June 25. /ARKA/. An A-319 airplane owned by the Armavia airline (Armenia) made its first official scheduled flight from Yerevan to the “C” terminal of the Moscow-based Sheremetyevo-1 airport.
Thus, the Armavia airline started operating scheduled flights from all the airports of Moscow. The first 35 passengers, accompanied by President of the Armavia airline Mikhail Bagdasarov and Director General Norair Bellumyan, arrived at the Sheremetyevo-1 airport.
Director General of the Sheremetyevo airport Mikhail Vasilenko, Russian and foreign journalists participated in the meeting ceremony for the first flight U8 508.
Vasilenko welcomed his Armenian colleagues and expressed his gratitude, as the Armavia airline is among the first airlines to start carrying out flights to the “C” terminal of Sheremetyevo-1.
President of the Armavia airline Mikhail Bagdasarov pointed out that the airline welcomes the commencement of scheduled flights to Sheremetyevo-1. He said that Moscow airports are competing, which makes them improve the quality of services rendered both to passengers and to airlines.
Bagdasarov said that Armavia is trying to make the best use of the transit potential of each airport, and the new flight to Sheremetyevo-1 will afford passengers further opportunities to choose the best routes.
From June 1, Armavia introduced an electronic ticket reservation system for the convenience of Diasporan Armenians. The full-scale operation of the new system has been delayed in Armenia because of the technical unpreparedness of the Yerevan airport, he said.
Armenia’s national air carrier, Armavia Airline, was founded in 1996. Armavia carries out flights to 15 countries.
In January-June 2008, Armavia transported over 200,000 passengers. Armavia is among the first foreign air carriers to place an order for Sukhoi Superjet airplanes produced in Russia. The airplanes are to arrive in Armenia early next year. –0—
