    ARMENIA INTENDS TO DEVELOP SMALL AVIATION

    ArmInfo. Armenia intends to develop small aviation. At the Jan 8
    sitting, the Armenian government approved the conception of small
    aviation development presented by Head of the General Department of
    Armenian Civil Aviation Artyom Movsisyan. According to him, development
    of this direction is of strategic importance for the republic. Small
    aviation will make it possible to carry out air transportation during
    agricultural and rescuing work, as well as during surveys, map-making,
    etc. This will ensure more dynamic transport communication between
    the regions and contribute to development of tourism in Armenia,
    Movsisyan said.

    It should be noted that in Soviet times there were 13 airports in
    operation in the republic. At present, no air transportation is
    carried out inside the republic. There are three airports currently
    in operation in Armenia: Zvartnots (civil airport) and Erebouni
    (military airport) in Yerevan and Shirak airport in Gyumri. Possible
    renovation of airports in Goris, Vardenis, Gavar, Meghri, Kapan,
    Sisian and Jermuk is being considered. To recall, in 2001 Zvartnots
    and Shirak airports were passed to concessional management of Armenia
    International Airports CJSC owned by Argentine entrepreneur Eduardo
    Eurnekian for 30 years.
