Sukhoi Civil Aircraft threatens Armenia’s Armavia with lawsuit
10:48 • 18.08.12

An official from Sukhoi Civil Aircraft company (CJSC) told Russian Izvestia paper that it is waiting for further activities of Armenian Armavia airline which has refused to exploit Sukhoi Superjet-100 standing for repair in Moscow.
Russian company’s representative Andrey Muravyev noted that in case the situation enters a deadlock they will file a lawsuit against Armavia.
He said according to the signed agreement, disputes are being examined in Russian mediatory court. “The trial will be held in Russia as the contract has been signed in accordance with Russian laws,” the Russian company’s representative said.
Armavia signed the contract on purchasing two SSJ-100 in 2010. The first jet was acquired in spring 2011 while the second was to be purchased in June 2012. This week, though, the Armenian national carrier has stated about refusal to acquire the jet.
“We do not find it expedient to buy the jet as the later needed repair just after a year of exploitation,” an official from Armavia told Monday. In response, representative from Sukhoi Civil Aircraft company stated that the Armenian company has not paid off the $4 million debt. The national carrier was also blamed for not paying for a repair, planned technical service. Russian company also stated that Armavia has pledged the jet several times in one of the Armenian banks, but did not mention exactly where.
Armavia has not denied taking a loan while purchasing the first SSJ-100 but has not noted how the Armenian company is going to legally define the refusal of taking the jet.
Earlier on Wednesday, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev interfered into the affair assigning relevant ministries and Aircraft building corporation work out SSJ-100 exploitation plan for Armenian company.
