  Armenian MP proposes 50% cut of airway tickets prices  November 25, 2011 - 14:36 AMTPanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian member of parliament Hayk Sanosyan said he intends to introduce a bill envisaging 50% reduction of prices for air tickets in the National Assembly. “Cooperation mechanism between the government and airway companies must be based on a principle of subsidies. Thus, in lieu of price reduction the government may provide airway companies with fuel,” the MP said. According to Sanosyan, the viability of the idea is proved by global experience. “If implemented, the initiative will boost tourist inflow, thus positively affecting the country’s economy,” the MP said.
