SIP Airport Overview
To help you plan your layover or overnight sleepover, here is a quick run-down about what to expect during your time at Simferopol International Airport.
What to Expect
Simferopol Airport (code: SIP) has two small terminals, one of which opened in the spring of 2018. Since Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014, the airport operates flights only to Russian destinations, as international aviation bodies (e.g., ICAO, Eurocontrol) do not recognize its international status under Russian control. There are a variety of eateries and shops, both landside and airside, though it is unclear whether any are open 24 hours. Free WiFi helps pass the time. Economy class passengers can pay to enter three airport lounges.
