Belbek Airport is located on the sea coast, in the city of Sevastopol.
A bit of history
In 1941, when this sky dock was first built, it was only used for military purposes. And around 1985, when Gorbachev began flying frequently to the presidential dacha, Belbek airport began to receive civilian aircraft.
Now the sky berth of Sevastopol is used both for military and civilian purposes. And since 2002, the airport has a license allowing international flights.
How to get there
Belbek Airport is located a short distance from Sevastopol, 50 kilometers from Simferopol and 95 kilometers from Y alta.
You can get to the airport from Sevastopol by bus, which runs here approximately every 30 minutes. From the northern side of this city, people usually get to Belbek with transfers: first by boat, and then again by bus. The time of such a journey will be about 40-50 minutes.
More about everything
Belbek airport is equipped with a three-kilometer runwaylane that can accommodate all types of aircraft.
For the past two decades, the airport has been extremely unstable, and for some time it was even closed. Perhaps this is due to the recent crisis. Only in 2010, the Sevastopol sky berth resumed its work, and its first passengers were guests who arrived from Dnepropetrovsk.
According to the plans of the leadership of Belbek, a new, more spacious terminal will soon be built here, the range of services will be expanded and new air carriers will be attracted. A corporate website will also be created, where you can find out all the information you need about Belbek (airport). The schedule of upcoming flights and ticket prices will also be available to all visitors online.
Dignity
The building of this airport does not imply a long stay. There are no usual cafes, restaurants and bistros. There are no shops on its territory. The nearest hotels can only be found in Sevastopol.
But despite this, many people have already fallen in love with Belbek Airport. The flight schedule for 2013-2014 suggests that this air pier is still being used!
And its main advantage is that it is very close to Sevastopol. In addition, as noted by numerous tourists, cleanliness and order are maintained at the proper level, and there is no noise and fuss. In general, the place is quite calm, with a measured pace of life and a peaceful atmosphere.
Belbek can accept up to 70 thousand in a yearpassengers.
Of course, today this heavenly berth of Sevastopol is unlikely to be able to seriously compete with the main airport of Simferopol. There, the largest airlines that operate flights to various destinations offer their potential passengers much more favorable conditions.
But there will be more! Who knows, maybe when the Belbek airport is improved, it will become the most popular air harbor of this republic and will be able to seriously compete with its other "colleagues"!
