ArmInfo.Passengers of the flight Astana-Yerevan were in "captivity" with the airline "Skat". For more than 15 hours, the passengers of the flight are in the departure zone of the international airport "Nursultan Nazarbayev". The flight, which according to the schedule was due to take off on July 8 at 23:30 at Kazakhstan time has not yet been sent.
As the special correspondent ArmInfo from the Astana airport reports, it is still not clear when the board will be provided for the flight. It is noteworthy that representatives of the company for the first three hours did not give any information at all, and later they were able to give a clear answer about when the situation would be resolved.
Despite the constant postponement of the departure time, the airline did not provide the massages with hotel rooms, as it is supposed in this situation. It is worth noting that among the passengers there are many young children, old people, disabled people who are unable to spend such a long time without sleep and proper conditions. Armenian Ambassador to Kazakhstan Ara Sahakyan has already sent an official letter to the chairman of the Civil Aviation Committee of the Ministry of Investment and Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Lestaev Talgat, in which he drew the agency's attention to the inadmissibility of such a situation. He also noted that for several months the airline "Scat" constantly, under different pretexts, is carrying out the flight Astana-Yerevan-Astana through Aktobu, which causes a lot of trouble to the passengers. The ambassador expressed hope that this situation will find its urgent solution and will not happen again.
