European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and German
Investment and Development Company (DEG) will provide a credit of $30
million. According to Press Secretary of the Central Board of Civil
Aviation of Armenia Gayane Davtyan, the credit will be mostly spent
at enhancing passenger service quality.
According to a contract between the Government of Armenia and
Argentinean Corporation America, Zvartnots Airport was conveyed for
concession management of International Airports Armenia company. The
latter plans to invest $253 million within 30 years, which will
result in the airport acquiring B category instead of the current
