Construction of Simferopol airport terminal started in Crimea

According to the Head of the Republic of Crimea, this project is being implemented in conjunction with Bank Rossiya and a pool of private investors. “The project will be fully implemented at the expense of investors and banks. The public price of the works is estimated at 32 billion rubles with VAT. 30% of the funds will be raised from investors, 70% - at the expense of a loan from banks officially operating in Crimea.

The share of Crimea will be 49%, the remaining 51% will go to investors. At the expense of the Federal Target Program, the government of the republic plans to reconstruct the infrastructure of the airfield.

The modernization of Simferopol International Airport will end by the summer tourist season of 2018. During the large-scale reconstruction, the newest airport complex with a terminal and service buildings will be built, designed to serve 7 million passengers with the possibility of expanding to 10 million passengers per year. The area of the new terminal is more than 78 thousand square meters.

At the expense of FTP funds, one of the two runways (runway) will be converted and extended to 3200 meters. The airport will receive two operating runways capable of taking over long-haul civilian aircraft. In addition, engineering communications will be reconstructed and access roads leading to the airport terminals will be rebuilt.
