ARMAVIR COMPANY V-BIRD-AVIA DECLARED BANKRUPT

The court of the Krasnodar Territory declared the insolvency of the ‘V-Bird-Avia’ company - it has been engaged in passenger air transportation since 2000. Bankruptcy proceedings have been opened for the next six months, and Georgy Koshkosh has become an interim manager.

In recent years, the organization has been receiving bankruptcy claims with enviable regularity. In 2017, the JSC Pskovavia tried to drive the airline to bankruptcy - the case was based on a claim to recover almost 16 million rubles for excess storage of several airliners in 2017-2018.

Last year, four persons filed insolvency petitions to the arbitration court at once, including two citizens with the same surname (Simonyan), the interregional branch No. 13 of the Federal Tax Service and the Yanis company, registered in the northern capital.

Experts note that the last time the tax authorities applied to the company with a claim for the recovery of 184.8 thousand rubles was in 2008.

Then the air carrier managed to pay off the resulting tax arrears, and the case was closed.

However, this time the situation turned out to be different - the company began liquidation proceedings as early as July 23, 2020. According to the tax authorities, the organization's losses for the last year amounted to 16.657 million rubles. The data of the FBS also testify to the current debts in the amount of 16.645 million rubles.

Since 2002, the owner of the company with an authorized capital of 10 thousand rubles is a resident of the village of Vahramaberd, Shirak region, Vahram Simonyan. This name is well known in the international air transportation market.

In 2015, he founded an airline in Congo.

Even earlier, the aircraft belonging to Simonyan flew to Somalia and Sudan. A number of sources (in particular, hetq.am) report that Simonyan has experience of working with the armed forces of individual African countries.
