Zvartnots Airport plans to make a major investment and renovate the runway of the airport to bring it up to the best international standards level.

The runway is 3850m long and 56m wide, the airport said.

It was constructed back in 1963 and as of this date, it has been renovated and reinforced for several times. The latest renovation works were performed in 2003-2004.

“Taking into consideration the actual state of the runway, there is a necessity to perform large scale works for the repavement.

The repavement of the runway includes milling of the asphalt concrete, patching, cleaning of cracks and filling them with hermetic material, installation of geogrid in the cracks and the asphalt concrete, etc.

The technical lighting system in the central part of the runway will be replaced with a new one. The new LED system corresponds to the best modern international standards,” the airport said in a press release.

The renovation works will start on April 1 and last for 45 days.

During the renovation, the airport flights will be performed from 09.00 pm until 09.00 am.
