    YEREVAN, May 6 (RIA Novosti) - Armavia, Armenia's national airline,
    said Saturday it would lease three new Airbus planes after losing two -
    one with 113 people on board - in three days earlier this week.

    An Armavia-owned A-320 crashed into Black Sea in stormy weather
    Wednesday with the loss of 105 passengers and eight crewmembers,
    and another one was destroyed in a fire at Belgium's Zaventem airport
    early Friday.

    The company said in a news release that the additions to its fleet
    would only be "new aircraft."

    The release said the first A-319 produced in 2004 or 2005 would start
    operating by May 15.
