Arzni military airport will receive both military and civilian vessels

ArmInfo. Arzni military airport  will be included in the list of airfields for the joint deployment of  civil and military aviation in Armenia. The decision on this was  taken at a meeting of the Government of the Republic of Armenia on  February 15.

As the head of the Civil Aviation Department of Armenia Sergey  Avetisyan informed, the training program for pilots-pilots started in  the training center of the GDCA, which is a package consisting of  theoretical and practical stages. To conduct a practical stage,  training flights on fixed-type aircraft are provided. As a result of  discussions with the specialists of the Ministry of Defense, as noted  by the head of the GDCA, a decision was made on the expediency of  using the Arzni airport, which belongs to the defense department, for  these flights. "Based on the requirements of the current law on  aviation, there was a need to change the status of the airport, which  implies that the airport will be used as a joint base for civil and  military needs," said Sergey Avetisyan.
