The newly-built airport in Stepanakert will handle international
flights in mid-October, Dmitri Adbashyan, Head of the NKR Civil
Aviation Service told A1+.
Currently constructors are broadening and strengthening the runway
to receive large airplanes, like IL-70, CRJ-200 and Airbus.
The airport was planned to open in September 2011, however the
deadline was postponed due to unfavourable weather conditions and
continuing rains.
"The rains have subsided and we have sped up the works. Builders
pledged to complete the construction at the end of September. I think
that in mid-October we shall be able to get the first international
flights," said Adbashyan.
The regulation of signal equipment installed on the strip is realized
together with a Moscow institute. Some navigation devices are used
for transit flights in order to obtain information about the direction
and distance of planes flying through Armenia and Azerbaijan.
