About Simferopol International Airport

Simferopol International Airport lies in the temperate mid-latitudes at 45.05° N, 33.98° E, on Europe/Simferopol time (UTC+3).

Simferopol International Airport has 1 runway. The longest, 01L/19R, measures 12,142 ft by 197 ft, which puts the field in the full-length intercontinental category: a fully loaded Boeing 777 or Airbus A350 can depart for the far side of the world. The surface is concrete. It is lit for night operations.

Runway 01L/19R is aligned roughly north/south, which is the clearest hint you get about the prevailing wind here: runways are built to face the wind that blows most often, because aircraft take off and land into it. Every runway here shares that north/south alignment, so a strong crosswind means a crosswind landing rather than a switch to another strip.
