Yerevan Zvartnots International Airport. Zvartnots Yerevan International Airport Zvartnots Yerevan Airport flight schedule

The construction of Zvartnots Airport began in 1959. The project was developed by a group of architects: A. Tarkhanyan, S. Khachikyan, L. Cherkezyan, Zh. Shekhlyan and designer S. Baghdasaryan. The opening of the airport took place in 1961, but the final plan of the architects was realized only in 1980, when the "white" terminal was put into operation. This is a very unusual project from an architectural point of view. The terminal was located in a circle around the two-tiered car overpass, and in the center of the structure was a control tower. The airport is located 12 km. west of Yerevan at an altitude of 865 meters above sea level and covers an area of ​​52,000 square meters. m.

In 1998, a cargo terminal was completed and put into operation, which made it possible to increase the airport's cargo turnover to 100,000 tons.
On December 18, 2001, the Government of Armenia signed an agreement with the Argentine company "Corporacion America" ​​on the management of "Zvartnots" airport for a period of 30 years (starting from June 9, 2002). The investment plan included the creation of a new international terminal and bringing the airport up to international standards. The construction of the terminal began in 2004, and in the summer of 2007 the new terminal was opened and accepted the first passengers...

A surge in passenger traffic in the early 2000s created a need to expand reconstruction plans. In October 2008, construction began on the new terminal of the Zvartnots airport in accordance with international standards. The occupied area of ​​the terminal amounted to 34 thousand square meters. m., total investment - $ 160 million ...

On September 16, 2011, the opening of a new air terminal complex took place. Its first visitors were passengers who arrived on a Moscow-Yerevan flight from Domodedovo airport. The class of the last terminal of the Yerevan Zvartnots airport is the highest in the South Caucasus. It has international security standards, an X-ray inspection system and automatic photocopiers, as well as a modern central heating and air conditioning system. The building has a 9-point seismic resistance...
3.

"Stork's Nest" - this is how the pilots called the building of the round terminal. Practical, multifunctional, and even with a unique architectural solution, Zvartnots Airport was considered one of the best air terminals in the Soviet Union. But soon this monument may remain only on the covers of old magazines. The airport authority has raised the issue of demolishing the building. The debate about the old building's significance began this year when the airport's concessionaire company filed a petition with the city's mayor's office to get a demolition permit...
4.

Mher Cherkezyan, the son of one of the architects of Zvartnots, considers this decision illegal, since the building is an original monument of the constructivist movement, of which there are not so many left today ... "This is a unique project," he says - the building was thought out to the smallest detail. " To preserve the architectural monument, the defenders of Zvartnots turned to the Public Council for help, proposing to include the building in the list of cultural monuments protected by the state.

In turn, the management of Zvartnots Airport cites arguments proving the need to demolish the building: the number of passengers is growing and the airport should expand. On the site of the dilapidated building, they plan to build a new complex. Armenian seismologists also advocate the demolition of the old airport building. Over the years of inactivity, the structure has fallen into disrepair, and any earthquake can be critical for it. If the authorities do not approve the plan to demolish the building, the airport management is ready to abandon its operation, and then the state will bear all responsibility for the reconstruction of the old building. This question remains open today...
5.

In the winter of 1985, I first photographed Tu-154B-2 (USSR-85442) from the building of this terminal, on which I later flew to Moscow (Domodedovo).
This board was released in 1980 and was operated by the Armenian UGU as part of Aeroflot until 1993 and then by "Armenian Airlines" until 2002 ...
6.

And this year, 28 years later, but already from the new terminal, I took a picture with the plane on which we again flew back to Domodedovo, only it was no longer Tu...
7.

After the reconstruction, the runway of "Zvartnots" airport (09/27) with a length of 3850 meters has an asphalt surface. The navigation equipment installed at the aerodrome provides a meteorological minimum corresponding to the second ICAO category for end 09 (landing is allowed with a runway visual range of at least 350 meters and a decision height of at least 30 meters. An aircraft applying for category II must provide automatic descent to pre-landing leveling height)
8.

With the commissioning of the new terminal, the airport is able to double the passenger flow (up to 3.5 million passengers annually, against 1.6 million previously).
34 international airlines connect Yerevan and Armenia with dozens of the largest cities in the world, such as: Paris, London, Frankfurt, Vienna, Dubai, Munich, Amsterdam, Beirut, Moscow, Prague, etc.

This year, a significant event for the aviation of Armenia took place - the emergence of a new local carrier of the country - the company "Air Armenia". At present, the B737 aircraft of this airline operates regular flights to St. Petersburg, Samara, Krasnodar, Sochi and Rostov-on-Don and to Nizhny Novgorod ...

But besides Boeings and Airbuses, which make up the bulk of traffic to the capital of Armenia, on the territory of the airport "Zvartnots" you can see other cars that are closer to your heart...

Tu-134A-3 EK 65072 (former board No. 1 of the Government of Armenia) is currently in storage on the airport platform ... He started his journey back in the Union with registration CCCP-65072, first at the Lithuanian CAA, and then Komi. Since 1993, he went to the Armenian Airlines company, and since 1999 - to government transportation ...
16.

And this Tu-134A was released in 1974 and had the initial registration USSR-65848 and a postscript in the Amyansk State Administration (1 Yerevan OAO). There are several interesting events in the biography of this car:
- May 31, 1987 at the airport "Zvartnots" on the Tu-134A CCCP-65848 aircraft of the Armenian CAA during maintenance and troubleshooting due to the failure of the hydraulic pump NP-43M / 1 of the right power plant, the front and right supports folded. The reason was pressing the "cleaning" button of the GA-142/1 electromagnetic valve in order to relieve pressure in the hydraulic system. The specific culprit has not been identified.
- May 16, 1988, in the afternoon, in simple weather conditions, this aircraft made an emergency landing outside the airfield on a site picked up from the air. The landing area is 50 km east of the city of Rostov-on-Don. The cause of this emergency was a complete blackout of the aircraft, due to a short circuit and mechanical destruction of the battery No. 1 (20NKBN - 25) due to the conduct of "thermal runaway". At that time, several similar failures were observed with these elements ... After that, the plane still flew, though since 1993 it was already part of Armenian Airlines. And from 2004 to the present, it has been stored at the airport ...
17.

A little further away is the Tu-154B-2 (former CCCP-85403) in storage since 2003. The board began its flight career, like the neighbor "tupolenka", in the 1st Yerevan OJSC of the Armenian State Administration ...

An-26 (formerly CCCP-26171), still flying, has sheltered in the parking lot next door, having changed several airlines during its flying life ...

Cargo transportation on the territory of the airport has separate parking lots and hangars. One of the main carriers today is the transport fleet of the Air Armenia airline, consisting of several An-12s, one of which I have already talked about ...
20.

Cargoes are different both in weight and size, and therefore not only Ana, but also IL-76 are used for their transportation ...
21.

And again "by the handle" past the boarding bridges of the new terminal, but the truth is already on the rise ...
22.

It gets dark very quickly in autumn and already at six o'clock the sun sets and twilight is gathering, the runway lights are on, and the airport is covered with fog descending from the mountains ... B767 S7 Airlines is in a hurry back to Domodedovo ... and I will end my story about my beloved here since childhood "Zvartnots", with which, I hope, we will see each other again ...
