Russia Discusses Possibility of Suspending A-320 Exploitation
Today the Russian State Duma ordered the transport committee to inquire the RF Ministry of transport about the possibility of suspending A-320 exploitation until the causes of the Armavia-owned jet crash are clarified.

To remind, on early May 3 Armavia-owned A-320 crashed into the water killing all 113 people aboard including 6 children and 8 crewmembers. The jet was conveying 26 Russian citizens, one Ukrainian citizen and one Georgian citizen; the others were citizens of Armenia.
