The ribbon cutting ceremony of a new passenger terminal worth USD
160 mln at Zvartnots Airport on Friday. The investments have been
attracted by the concessionaire "Armenia International Airports".
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan and other officials attended the
ribbon cutting ceremony.
The new terminal occupies an area of 34 thsd sq m. A two-storey
building has been built. It has new halls for departure and arrival
of passengers, a department for registration of the passengers, as
well as shops and restaurants. The arrival hall will be opened in
early October, and the departure hall - in late October.
A two-deck parking area has also been built, which accommodates 600
cars. After the launch of the new passenger terminal, the capacity
of the airport will grow to 3 mln passengers per annum against the
former 2 mln. The number of registration desks equipped with up-to-date
CUTE technologies has been increased from 21 to 46. This will allow
avoiding queues.
To recall, On 17 December 2001 the Armenian Government and Eduardo
Eurnekian, Argentine entrepreneur of Armenian origin, signed an
agreement on concessional management of Zvartnots Airport for 30
years. In 2002 the concessional management right passed to Armenia
International Airports belonging to Eurnekian. The total volume of
the concessionaire's investments in upgrading of the airport amounted
to USD 320 million. Loans were provided by the European Bank for
Reconstruction and Development, Asian Development Bank and Deutsche
Investitions-und-Entwicklungsgesellschaft. The concessionaire also
invested his own funds.
