GYUMRI AIRPORT FURNISHED WITH MODERN FLIGHT CONTROL
SYSTEM

GYUMRI, JUNE 30, ARMENPRESS: Chief of Armenian
Civil Aviation Artyom Movsisian and Radomir Hervert, a
manager from Czech ERA company dealing with P3D
systems traveled to Armenia’s Gyumri to inaugurate the
Air Traffic Management Center at its Shirak airport.
Movsisian said the agreement with the Czech company
on installment of this type center at Gyumri airport
had been signed in 2004. He said P3D systems operate
effectively at mountain airports ensuring a greater
visibility because radars there are not often
sufficient to control flights from the ground.
Hervert said the system had been tested
successfully in various climatic conditions and
especially in such which are close to climatic
conditions in Armenia. The airport in Gyumri operates
now one flight a day. Its management is carrying out a
set of projects to improve its capacities.
