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 and 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 A319 and A320, McDonnell Douglas MD-80 and Fokker 100.
The first international flight to land at El Edén International Airport was operated by Spirit Airlines on 13 November 2009 from Fort Lauderdale, USA. As of September 2023, Spirit Airlines operates three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays from El Edén International to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.[citation needed]
