Deputies of the State Duma intend to approve the construction of a new airport in the Crimea.

The main reason for the start of construction of a new airport is created based on the old military airfield, Simferopol Airport can not provide effective maintenance of aircraft, in particular, we are talking about large passenger airliners, which is why passenger turnover is not full.

At the moment, discussions are held only on the feasibility of building a new airport, but it is possible that the positive results on this question may appear in April-May this year.

Recall that this year the Simferopol airport has increased the quota for the number of committed flights to 20%, which attracted already many carriers, but because of the serious competition on this route, not all airlines want to work here, which is primarily concerned with the Russian loukostera "Victory".
