After Accident And Fire, Armavia Fleet Now Back Up To Six Aircraft

Airline Takes Delivery Of Two Former Independence Air Planes

After suffering the loss of two of its aircraft earlier this month, Armenian carrier Armavia's fleet is once again back up to six aircraft, with the airline's acceptance of two A319s.

Armenian media reports state the second of the two A319s -- that in their past lives flew for now-defunct Independance Air -- was delivered to the airline Thursday. The leased A319s will replace the A320 the carrier lost in a May 2 accident in the Black Sea that claimed the lives of all 113 people onboard, and a second A320 that burned in a Brussels hangar fire two days later.

PanARMENIAN.net reports the airline is also considering the purchase of a new Airbus in the near future, as well as 50-70 passenger plane produced "in the US" (which probably means a Canadian CRJ).

As it stands, Armavia now operates one A320 (above) and two A319s, as well as a Yak 40, one Yak-42 and one IL-86. The airline flies over 60 regularly-scheduled flights per week, in 13 countries.

The airline states it does not operate any aircraft built before 2000.
