    ARMAVIA RECEIVES A319 AS FLEET RECOVERY BEGINS

    Flight International
    May 23, 2006

    Two weeks after two separate accidents wiped out much of its fleet,
    Armenian carrier Armavia last week took delivery of the second of
    two Airbus A319s.

    The airline has also revealed that it intends to complement its fleet
    with 50- to 70-seat regional aircraft.

    Yerevan-based Armavia's second A319 was, like its predecessor,
    formerly operated by defunct US carrier Independence Air.

    The aircraft arrived two weeks after a fatal Black Sea crash and a
    subsequent maintenance hangar fire at Brussels destroyed two of the
    airline's three A320s.

    The carrier's introduction of the A319 brings its fleet up to a total
    of six aircraft - two A319s, its sole remaining A320, an Ilyushin
    Il-86, a Yakovlev Yak-40 and a Yak-42.
