FIRST YEREVAN-STEPANAKERT AND STEPANAKERT-YEREVAN FLIGHTS WILL BE
LAUNCHED
The airport of Stepanakert will be re-operated by autumn 2008, NKR
President Bako Sahakyan said in yesterday's news conference,
Karabakh-Open.com reports. `Most people we met confessed they do not
visit Karabakh often because no planes fly there.' He said he has
invited specialists from the Department of Civil Aviation of Armenia
and they have already made a conclusion.
The NKR president said as of today the airport of Stepanakert can
receive only helicopters. He said soon the available equipment will
be installed. The rest of equipment will be brought from Gyumri where
the airport has been modernized recently for international flights.
New equipment costs millions of dollars, therefore old equipment will
be installed in the airport Stepanakert of Stepanakert.
There will be no international flights for the time being because the
permission of Azerbaijan is required for that. `For the time being,
we will launch Stepanakert-Yerevan and Yerevan-Stepanakert flights.
Air travel will help revive not only tourism but also life in the
country,' NKR President Sahakyan said.
