ONE MORE AIR GATE MODERNIZED IN ARMENIA
One more air gate is modernized in Armenia, namely, Shirak airport in
Gyumri. Particularly, the dispatcher tower is put into commission in a
ceremonial opening today. Hayaironavigation CJSC concluded a contract
with Check ERA in 2004 to import P3D system in Armenia, particularly
in Gyumri Shirak airport. According to specialists, the system works
well especially in mountainous regions because it ensures better
visibility.
Hayaironavigation CJSC director Eduard Mulsoyan mentions that the
installation of the system is implemented exclusively on the incomes
of the company. According to him, about USD 700,000 is invested,
including USD 200,000 on Check equipment and USD 500,000 for
reconstruction of the facilities.
The unit has 40 employees. Four of them have passed training in Check
Republic and Great Britain. At the moment, Gyumri airport complies
with international norms in terms of dispatcher and navigation
services./Panorama.am/
