Kapan "Syunik" airport served 899 passengers during the first 9 months of this year. All of these are passengers of the Yerevan-Kapan-Yerevan flight, as the airport does not serve other flights for now. Why for now, because in the not-too-distant future, Syunik regional center can become an international air gate for our country. "Hetk" received the data from the RA Civil Aviation Committee.
Let's remind that commercial passenger transportation in Kapan started in August 2023. "Syunik" managed to serve 207 passengers during August-December last year. For about a year, the flights were carried out every Monday and Friday, but from September 4 of this year, flights are also made on Wednesdays. However, flights are not always on schedule as everything depends on the weather.
This is because flights to Kapan are operated under visual flight rules (VFR), when favorable weather conditions are a must. Steps are currently being taken to allow instrument flights (IFR) as well.Details: sourceon the website.
