Stepanakert Airport (Armenian: Ստեփանակերտի Օդակայան) or Khojaly Airport (Azerbaijani: Xocalı Hava Limanı) is an airport in the town of Khojaly, 10 kilometers north-east of Stepanakert, Azerbaijan. The airport, in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, had been under the control of the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh from 1992 to 2023. Flights ceased with the escalation of the First Nagorno-Karabakh War in 1990.
In 2009, the Armenian authorities began the reconstruction of the facilities.[2] Though it was scheduled to launch the first commercial flights on May 9, 2011, NKR officials postponed the new reopening date throughout 2011.[3] In May 2012, the director of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Civil Aviation Administration, Tigran Gabrielyan, announced that the airport would begin operations in mid-2012.[4] However, as the International Civil Aviation Organization effectively recognizes Azerbaijan’s authority over the airport, which has an Azerbaijan-assigned code, UBBS, Azerbaijan could veto any plans to start civilian flights.[5]
Azerbaijan took control of the airport following the announcement of the dissolution of Artsakh Republic in September 2023.
