YEREVAN. – Armenia must develop small aircraft, member of the Public Council Levon Ghazaryan said.

He is convinced the development of small aircraft, the so-called “air taxi”, will help lower the price of tickets, and it will be convenient to passengers.

For example, Kazarian said if a passenger wants to get from Sochi to Armenian town of Stepanavan, then flying through Yerevan will create additional problems. Consequently, for the development of small aircraft we need to renovate the existing airports and build new ones.

However, member of the Public Council warned against the side effect. This may lead to higher prices at the Zvartnots airport, as  airport will try to compensate the reducing number of passengers with raising prices
