Simferopol International Airport received and dispatched 676 charter flights during the 2019 resort season, transporting 195.6 thousand passengers to and from Crimea. Compared to 2018, the number of passengers transported by charter flights increased by 30%. The indicators became record-breaking in the modern history of Simferopol airport.
As the press service of the air harbor told the TRN portal, in 2019, the charter program at Simferopol airport was significantly expanded. If last season such flights were carried out from July to the end of August, then this year they were carried out from April to the end of September. Charter flights were carried out by Rossiya Airlines on order of the tour operator Biblio-Globus.
The largest number of charter flights to Crimea in 2019 were carried out from Vnukovo (Moscow) and Pulkovo (St. Petersburg) airports. Charter flights also departed from Yekaterinburg and Novosibirsk.
It should be noted that this year, for the first time, a special service procedure was introduced for charter flight passengers at Simferopol Airport. They were screened and registered separately from the main flow of passengers, for which additional check-in counters and inspection complexes were allocated. A workplace was equipped in the airport control room for a representative of the tour operator Biblio-Globus, which carried out charter flights. This made it possible to provide tourists with the most comfortable conditions for their stay at the airport.
