Stepanavan Airport is a civil airport serving the city of Stepanavan and the province of Lori, in the country of Armenia.The airport was built in the early 1970s and has since undergone several renovations to improve its facilities and services۔ It is located 6km (04miles) northwest of the center of Stepanavan.[1] [2]

In 2014, reconstruction of the administrative buildings of "Stepanavan" Airport JSC and Kapan airport included replacing fencing and renovation of the runway of the airports.[3] The Ministry of Emergency Situations of Armenia will use the airport to fight wildfires.
