The international airport in Sevastopol Belbek is located 25 kilometers from the city in the area of the Fruktovoe village, Nakhimovsky district and is the main airport of the Crimean peninsula. The runway of the airline, more than 3 kilometers long, is reinforced with reinforced concrete, but despite this, the runway will not be able to withstand a large number of heavy medium-haul aircraft. The capacity of the airline is just over 100 people per hour.
The flight units of the Russian Air Force are based on the territory of the airport.
History
The airport in Sevastopol was founded in 1941 and until the mid-80s of the last century was used as a military airfield. The use of the airline for civil air transportation began in the second half of the 80s in connection with the flights of the President of Russia M. S. Gorbachev to the state dacha.
Since that time, air links have been opened to Moscow (Vnukovo), St. Petersburg and other large cities of Russia. In 2002, the airline received international status. Charter flights were opened abroad. But in 2007, all flights were suspended due to the refusal of the Ukrainian government from joint use with the Air Force.
