The Italian company Elitaliana is interested in exploiting its helicopters in Armenia to provide passenger transportation services to the country's provinces, as well as for tourism, health, emergency, private and other purposes.

The company representatives have discussed their projects with the minister of transport, communication and information technologies Vahan Martirosyan.

The sides agreed in Yerevan that the issue will further be discussed with the representatives of other agencies involved.

Earlier in October, Elitaliana CEO Alessandro Giulivi met the chief of Armenia's General Department of Civil Aviation Sergey Avetisyan.

Founded in 1964, Elitaliana operates in a number of areas, such as search and rescue (SAR), aerial work, freight transport, offshore transportation, forest firefighting, disinfestation and environmental monitoring services.
