    NATIONAL COMPETITIVENESS FUND OF ARMENIA STUDIES JUSTIFICATION OF AIR TICKET PRICES

    ArmInfo. National Competitiveness Fund of Armenia is studying
    justification of air ticket prices, Executive Officer of the Fund
    Bekor Papazyan told media on Tuesday.

    At present there are two contradictory viewpoints regarding this
    problem. First, the price of air tickets is justified since Armenia is
    a small and non-transit country. Therefore, the air traffic market is
    very small and lowering the prices through increasing the number of
    flights is difficult. The second opinion says that ticket prices are
    overvalued. We will have own opinion only after conducting survey. But
    one thing is clear: reducing ticket prices even by 10% will bolster
    tourism like it was in the case of extension of flight destinations
    in Armenia, B. Papazyan said.

    Earlier the monopoly sale of JP fuel in Armenia was mentioned as one
    of the reasons of high prices of air tickets. In October 2008 the
    State Commission of Armenia on Protection of Economic Competition
    surveyed this topic. Afterwards the company selling aviation fuel,
    the International Airports - Armenia, reduced the price for JP fuel
    nearly by 30%.
