“From what I understood, this means that the companies which have received licenses from Armenia will not be allowed to operate because no one trusts those licenses. This is how I understood these restrictions,” Bright Armenia deputy Mane Tandilyan said in an interview with reporters in parliament regarding the European Union Aviation Safety Agency’s decision that banned Armenian airlines from carrying out flights to the EU.
“As far as which countries those airlines will fly to, this is understandable, and those countries will feel the economic impact. But Armenia suffers in terms of authority. We have an issue here because the EU does not trust the licenses we gave. I think that this is worrisome and requires much deliberation. We need to understand how we failed and whether those licenses were given recently or in the past. One thing is obvious: the EU does not trust the licenses Armenia gave,” the opposition deputy said.
