There are two bus routes to the airport, classic taxis and mobile app taxis are available.
The city centre is approximately 12 km from the airport.
Buses and minibuses
The bus stop is located in front of the terminal. There are no timetables posted on site, but you can find connections between specific points, for example on the website t-armenia.com (often the departures of line 100 are not shown).
You can also use mobile apps: A2B Transport, Transit.am.
Tickets
The fares are the same for both airport lines and are 300 amd. It is always payable to the bus or minibus driver on alighting and in cash only.
Bus and minibus routes around the city, as well as the metro, cost 100 amd. Trolleybuses cost 50 amd.
Lines and timetables
There are two Yerevan public transport lines to the airport from the centre.
- Line 100 - goes to French Square (near the Opera House) or to the central long-distance bus station. Only classic modern buses run on line 100.
- Frequency - 40 minutes
- Journey time - 30 minutes
- Operating hours - 7:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
- Route 201 - semi-circular route starts at the airport and goes past the central bus station and the Opera House to the metro station "Yeritasardakan". After that, it goes back to the airport via Republic Square. Line 201 is mainly operated by minibuses.
- Frequency - 30 minutes
- Journey time - 30 to 40 minutes
- Operating hours - 7:00 to 22:00
Timetables are indicative and it often happens that both lines run significantly late or ahead of schedule. Generally, however, at least 2-3 services per hour will run between the airport and the centre.
Taxi
A more convenient and relatively inexpensive mode of transport is the ubiquitous taxis.
There is absolutely no problem getting a taxi at the airport and downtown at any time of the day or night.
There are no official taxis at the airport, so be prepared to see many taxi drivers offering you a ride as you exit the arrivals hall. The price is negotiable. Usually taxi drivers start with a quote around 20 000 amd and rarely manage to negotiate a price lower than 10 000 amd.
These are very high amounts by local standards and we recommend using the Armenian equivalent of Uber - the GG mobile app (available on: App Store / Google Play).
The price with GG taxi ranges between 2 900 amd and 3 800 amd depending on the current demand.
Rent a car
Well-known multinational car rental companies such as Europcar, Alamo, Sixt and Enterprise also operate at the airport.
Weekly rental prices start at 190 eur.
Rent a car if you want to explore the Armenian countryside. Outside the main routes, however, expect broken roads and wild traffic with no enforcement.
