Azerbaijan opens new international airport in Karabakh

Azerbaijan has completed the construction of a new airport, Fuzuli International Airport, in the region of Karabakh that was recently liberated from the Armenian occupation. Completed in a span of eight months, this is the first airport to be constructed by Azerbaijan in the region of Karabakh and will function as Karabakh’s gateway to the world. Fuzuli International Airport is located nearly 100km from Shusha and 300km from the capital Baku. The foundation stone for the airport was laid in January this year while the initial test flight to the airport was conducted in August. All wide-body aircraft, including large cargo aeroplanes, will be able to operate from this airport. The airport’s runway is 3000m long and 60m wide and its terminal has the capacity to handle 200 passengers in an hour. In addition, the airport features automatic systems and a control tower in line with international civil aviation and transportation standards.<br/>
