Airport contact
Armenia's second civil gateway (Shirak Province, northern Armenia) and a joint civil/military field - an Armenian Air Force base - 5 km southeast of Gyumri; commonly marketed as 'Shirak International Airport' though the AIP and most reference sources carry the plain name 'Shirak Airport'. The single 3,220 m runway (02/20) carries CAT I ILS on RWY 02 only, and most services run 0600-1800 local rather than H24 with no published outside-hours PPR route, so off-hours movements are effectively unaccommodated. A 2021 modernization resurfaced the runway and opened a new arrivals hall, nearly tripling stated terminal capacity to about 700,000 pax/yr. Current scheduled service is thin and Russia/CIS-leaning (Aeroflot, Pobeda, FlyOne) plus a Wizz Air Larnaca link launched 30 September 2025; the 2025 passenger total of 138,399 (+32.4% y/y) still reflects a small regional airport rather than a mainline international gateway.

Air Backer
Passenger and crew transportation (bus and limousine) is part of its standard FBO service package per own site; confirmed as authorized agent at Gyumri Shirak, but the transport listing itself is generic company-wide content, not a Gyumri-specific published claim, so on-request rather than a guaranteed on-site fleet.
