    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.
