    RUSSIAN STATE DUMA QUESTIONS EXPEDIENCY OF IAC SPECIAL POWERS IN CIVIL AVIATION

    Yerevan, August 1. ArmInfo. In order to promote the development of
    civil aviation in Russia the Council of Federation of the Federal
    Assembly of Russia has decided to consider the expediency of providing
    the Inter-State Aviation Committee with the functions and powers
    of special authorized civil aviation and air accident investigation
    agency in Russia.

    The resolution expresses concern over the imperfection of state
    administration in the sphere. A number of tragic accidents in civil
    aviation within a short period of time have proved the urgent need
    for enhancing control over planes and improving airport equipment
    and personnel training. The resolution notes the need to change the
    system of air accident investigation for ensuring its independence
    and competence.

    To note, Armenian experts share the concern of the State Duma,
    particularly, concerning the activities of IAC. They note that IAC is
    expert on Soviet and Russian planes only and is not very competent
    on foreign liners, particularly, Airbus. Besides, the fact that
    the chairwoman of the committee Tatyana Anodina is engaged in air
    business is a serious obstacle to its impartiality. Russian media say
    that Anodina owns 3.25% of Transaero, while her family owns 44.14%
    of the company. Some sources say that Transaero has serious plans
    concerning Armenia's air market.
