YEREVAN, May 6 (RIA Novosti) - Armavia, Armenia's national airline, said Saturday it would lease three new Airbus planes after losing two - one with 113 people on board - in three days earlier this week.
An Armavia-owned A-320 crashed into Black Sea in stormy weather Wednesday with the loss of 105 passengers and eight crewmembers, and another one was destroyed in a fire at Belgium's Zaventem airport early Friday.
The company said in a news release that the additions to its fleet would only be "new aircraft."
The release said the first A-319 produced in 2004 or 2005 would start operating by May 15.
