Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said on Wednesday that Syunik Airport in Armenia’s southeast has “considerable potential” to start serving international flights.
In a video address presenting the Civil Contract party’s election program, Pashinyan highlighted that the government has already launched the process.
“Of course, the Syunik Airport is already able to receive aircraft of a certain size, and if necessary, work will be carried out to expand the capacity of the runway so that it can accommodate larger aircraft.
Our calculations show that the Syunik Airport also has considerable potential for operating international flights,” said Nikol Pashinyan.
Syunik Airport, located in the eponymous province of Syunik in the town of Kapan, is currently designated as a domestic airport, serving flights to and from Yerevan.
Following a recently approved investment program, the airport could begin serving international flights. If implemented, Syunik Airport would become Armenia’s third international airport, after Yerevan’s Zvartnots Airport and Gyumri’s Shirak Airport.
