May 24, 2013 - 17:53 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia International Airports CJSC is against the
demolition of the old terminal of Zvartnots airport, deputy manager
said.
“Both the new and the old terminals of the airport are owned by the
Republic of Armenia,” Andranik Shkhyan said, adding, however, that an
airport infrastructure development plan was offered.
“The old terminal is located in the site of the planned expansion of
the building,” he said, noting it as an impediment to the further
development of the airport.
Mr. Shkhyan noted that the municipality responded to the airport’s
letter noting the demolition of the old terminal building as
unfounded.
In this context, he said the airport management offered to build a
railway in the framework of the infrastructure’s development program.
On May 4, 2012, Director General of South Caucasus Railways Victor
Rebets, the then Minister of Transport and Communications Manuk
Vardanyan and General Manager of Armenia International Airports CJSC
Marcelo Wende signed a memorandum on the construction of a railway to
Zvartnots airport.
