First Passenger Plane Lands at Kapan Airport in 30 Years

KAPAN —  L-410-UVP E20 passenger plane (produced in the Czech Republic) landed today at Syunik airport in Kapan, the capital of Armenia’s southeastern province of Syunik.

The L-410 plane took off from Yerevan’s Zvartnots international airport at 10:10 local time, and successfully landed in Kapan at 10:58. The aircraft is designed for 19 passengers, the Armenian Civil Aviation Committee said.
