Following Armenia 's 25 January 1999 earthquake , the terminal had to be rebuilt after major seismic activity caused much of the building to collapse . During 2008/2009 , the airport 's runway was extended , the control tower 's height was increased , and the terminal building was partly upgraded to include a new international gate and immigration area . The airport is now capable of receiving aircraft such as : Boeing 737 and 727 , Airbus 319 and 320 , McDonnell Douglas MD-80 and Fokker 100 , among others
