"Stepanakert Airport will be put into service by late June," Dmitry Atbashyan, Head of the Civil Aviation Department at the NKR Government, told ArmInfo.

"The airport is ready. The personnel are currently undergoing training courses. The plane that will fly the first is at the stage of reception. Because of technical reasons, the first flight is scheduled for late June," he said.
