The world’s longest aerial tramway located in the Syunik province, southern part of Armenia, Wings of Tatev, works perfectly and uninterruptedly, the aerial tramway manager said.
“Each passenger’s security is highly critical for us,” Tigran Ghazaryan told an October 16 press conference dedicated to the first anniversary of operation of the aerial tramway.
As Mr. Ghazaryan stated, a technical checkup was conducted every day while the personnel received the necessary training. Besides, the National Center for Technical Safety of Armenia conducted a maintenance inspection to find Wings of Tatev a safe construction.
“In the nearest future we plan another technical checkup by a committee of independent experts from Switzerland and other European countries,” he noted.
On October 16, 2010, the Tatev Revival Project was launched in Tatev, Syunik province of Armenia, marked by the official inauguration of the world's longest reversible passenger aerial tramway. The project was conducted by the National Competitiveness of Armenia with 45 million dollar budget.
Two-way journey costs AMD 3 thousand except for those passengers from the adjacent communities that have free access. One-way ticket costs AMD 2 thousand.
Wings of Tatev was granted certificate from the Guinness book of Records officially verifying the status of the longest reversible aerial tramway.
