Gnel Sanosyan: Kapan Airport planning regional flights to adjacent  cities of neighboring countries

ArmInfo.Our goal is to transform Kapan Airport into an international or regional airport that offer flights not only to Yerevan, but also to adjacent cities of neighbouring countries.

This was stated by Gnel Sanosyan, the  Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure of Armenia,  during a panel discussion "Prospects of Modern Armenia: Economy,  Infrastructure and Technology" held as part of the Global Armenian  Summit.  He noted that at the moment the airport has increased the  frequency of flights to the Armenian capital up to three times.

Sanosyan recalled the negotiations regarding the implementation of a  large investment program involving a specially formed working group  led by Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan and the Zvartnots  Airport.  He mentioned that the parties are nearing agreement on all  provisions of the deal. As a result of the implementation of this  program, according to the minister, the infrastructure of all  airports in Armenia will be enhanced. "Our goal is to create  conditions where our airports can serve 10 million passengers  annually," Sanosyan emphasized, noting that last year they achieved a  record-breaking passenger flow of 5.4 million people in Armenia.
