Armenian Airline In Another Debt Row

A state-owned Armenian company providing meteorological services to airlines said on Tuesday that it will take legal action to force Armavia, the struggling national carrier, to pay 142 million drams ($350,000) in outstanding debts.

The Aviation Meteorology Center located at Yerevan's Zvartnots airport also threatened to stop giving Armavia and other airlines weather information needed for the safety of their flights. Its acting director, Pavel Manukian, warned that such a move would effectively block flights to and from Zvartnots.

"They [Armavia] do not respond to phone calls at all," Manukian told a news conference. "Our appeals that the [meteorological] system is on the brink of collapse have fallen on deaf ears."
