The Armavia airline elaborated Thursday on its decision to abandon two Russian-made Sukhoi SuperJet 100 aircraft, saying that they have proved to be too costly and not reliable enough.
The company also said that from now on it will expand its fleet with mainly U.S. and European passenger jets.
"It's not that the [new Russian plane] is very bad," Armavia's director general, Norayr Beluyan, told RFE/RL's Armenian service (Azatutyun.am) "But for a new aircraft, it breaks down and requires repairs too often." The cost of those repairs is extremely high, he said.
