Free Wi-Fi is available throughout Zvartnots International Airport. The airport identifies the public network as Zvartnots Public, making it useful for a message, pickup coordination or checking an onward route after landing.
Public airport Wi-Fi is a convenient first connection, not the best foundation for the entire stay. It may require a portal, slow down at busy times or stop once you leave the terminal.
NoveSIM travel eSIMs are data-only. We do not provide an Armenian number, conventional calls or SMS, but mobile data can support maps, messaging and internet calls beyond airport Wi-Fi range.
Quick answer: At EVN, select the official Zvartnots Public network and follow any on-screen access step. Avoid sensitive transactions unless you trust the connection and the website uses HTTPS. For transport and travel around Armenia, prepare a local SIM or eSIM rather than depending on terminal Wi-Fi.

- Open Wi-Fi settings and select Zvartnots Public.
- Wait for the access page to appear.
- Complete only the steps shown by the official portal.
- Open a normal webpage to confirm that internet access works.
- Forget the network after use if you do not want automatic reconnection.
Check the network name carefully. A similarly named hotspot can be created by another device, so do not join an unfamiliar variation simply because its signal is stronger.
What can you safely use airport Wi-Fi for?
Routine travel tasks such as sending an arrival message, viewing a booking or downloading a route are reasonable. Use extra care with banking, payment accounts, password changes and confidential work systems.
- Keep device sharing and file sharing off.
- Use HTTPS websites and current apps.
- Do not install certificates or unknown software requested by a pop-up.
- Avoid approving unexpected login or verification prompts.
- Disconnect when the airport task is complete.
What if Zvartnots Public does not open?
Turn Wi-Fi off and on, forget the network and reconnect. If the portal does not appear, open a plain browser page to trigger it, temporarily disable a VPN or private relay, and confirm that the phone has not silently switched to another saved network.
Move closer to the passenger area rather than repeatedly submitting the portal form. If the official service still fails, ask airport staff to confirm the current SSID.
Wi-Fi, an airport SIM or an Armenia eSIM?
| Option | Best use | Main limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Zvartnots Public Wi-Fi | Short tasks inside the airport | Ends outside terminal coverage |
| Local Armenian SIM | Local number and longer stays | Purchase and passport registration |
| Travel eSIM | Data prepared before or at arrival | No Armenian number with NoveSIM |
The airport’s official passenger information lists Team, Viva-MTS and Ucom service offices in the arrivals area near the baggage exit and notes that a passport is required for the agreement. Opening conditions and offers can change, so confirm the current package at the desk.
If you only need mobile data, compare this with the Armenia eSIM guide. A preinstalled eSIM avoids making the airport Wi-Fi connection a requirement for the onward trip.
Prepare before leaving EVN
Save the Yerevan address, pickup name and transport route offline. If using mobile data, switch Wi-Fi off and load a webpage before leaving arrivals. This reveals a setup problem while you still have access to airport assistance and charging sockets.
For an eSIM, select it as the data line and enable Data Roaming on that line. Keep automatic data switching off to reduce the risk of charges on the home SIM. If manual NoveSIM APN entry is required, use data.esim.
