Armenia is a landlocked country, so airplanes are the most important means of transport. This makes it especially important to learn Armenian airport vocabulary. In this article, you will learn all the essential words like ticket (տոմս), etc. So without further ado, let’s get started!
Airports In Armenia
Armenia is located in southeast Asia in the Caucasus mountain range. As we know, airborne transport is crucial for a landlocked country as it’s the only way it can communicate with the world. This is why Armenia has about 11 airports that are currently operational. However, only two of them are for commercial flights. They are Yerevan’s Zvartnots International Airport and Gyumri’s Shirak Airport.
Yerevan’s Zvartnots International Airport
It serves as Armenia’s primary international airport and Yerevan’s primary international transportation center. The airport there is the busiest in the country.
It is a hub for flights to 47 destinations in over 22 countries worldwide.
Yerevan Zvartnots Airport is located west of Yerevan near the town of Zvartnots, which explains the airport’s name.
Unfortunately, no public transport facility is available from the airport. You can opt to get a cab from the airport to your destination.
The airport does offer an express bus service and a bus service to take passengers from planes to their terminals.
Taxi Service
Taxi service is the best way to get to your destination from the airport. The taxi fare from the airport to the city’s center is around AMD 6000.
Airport Parking
The airport offers various parking options at a low cost if you are an avid traveler and like to bring your car to the airport.
At The Airport
The airport has a substantial lounge and a premium business lounge for business class customers. The business class lounge offers perks like fast wifi, free food, beverages, resting spots, and other premium features you would find at any business class lounge in other countries. It also offers translators if you speak a different language.
Shirak International Airport
It is the second largest airport in the country, and it was built around 1961. It has flights to Moscow, Russia only. This airport is a backup when the main Yerevan’s Zvartnots International Airport is not functional due to adverse weather conditions.
Location
This airport serves Shirak and Gyumri. It is around 5 kilometers from Gyumri’s city center.
At The Airport
It is an old airport but not as luxurious as Zvartnots International Airport. The facilities like internal transport are average too. If you are planning a family trip or a solo tourist, I suggest booking a flight to the main international airport.
