“Zvartnots Airport must be expanded as quickly as possible,” the Prime Minister told members of his Cabinet, citing the need to increase capacity to accommodate growing traffic.

He also highlighted the importance of implementing international standard reforms and continuously updating them.

Pashinyan also spoke about the work that needs to be carried out to redesignate Syunik Airport in Kapan as an international airport.
