About 400 employees lose jobs due to Armavia’s bankruptcy
Some 400 employees have lost their jobs after the Armavia airline owned by Mikhail Baghdasarov went bankrupt. The pilots have not received their salaries for the last five months, from November 2012 to March 2013. A pilot told this to “Zhamanak” daily. According to him, at the moment of its bankruptcy, the airline had about 50 pilots whose monthly salaries made 2-3 million AMD.
Besides, the company has not paid salaries of the flight attendants and aviation engineers.
400 employees of Armavia are now jobless. It will soon become clear whether the authorities will find a new company interested in the Armenian aviation market or the circulating rumors will finally become reality and a state-owned airline will be set up.
