Quoting Drinkstrolley (Reply 4): Quoting Dogfighter2111 (Reply 2):
if they are adding an additional aircraft
And if anybody wants to fly with them
Since it seems the crash in the Black Sea was not caused by bad maintenance or unskilled pilots (correct me if I'm wrong), and that the fire at BRU has nothing to do with Armavia, other then the fact that they were unlucky enough to have a plane parked inside, I guess people shouldn't worry to much about flying Armavia.

Thanks for that. So it could be any type, meaning it may include A319s as well. They have 1 A319 scheduled for delivery this month, a former Independence air and by replacing the 2 destroyed A320s, makes a total of 3.
So they will be re-establishing the fleet as it was.

Well, they way i see it is that the 2 incidents had nothing to do with Armavia. If it was MX issues with the Black Sea crash then it is not Armavia, because i think they go to places like SN Technik for MX. Therefore not Armavia's fault.
Also, the SN Technik incident was not Armavia's fault either.

Joe public don't see that though - they see a destroyed Armavia aircraft and assume they are an unsafe airline.

Quoting Naritaflyer (Reply 19): Hope they change the name. Armavia doesn't sound nice and probably means nothing in Armenian (don't be shocked, I happen to know some Armenian).
Armavia is just the short name for Armenia & Avia. An abbreviation that lots of Airlines in the former USSR use. So whats the problem about it?
