“We are definitely in favor.
Crimea will definitely be able to ensure the reception of aircraft.
Simferopol Airport has such opportunities, ”he said.
Aksyonov added that so far there are no specific plans for the flights of Belarusian aircraft to the territory of the peninsula.
At the same time, he expressed the hope that they will appear after the visit of the presidents of Russia and Belarus Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko to Crimea.
The Belarusian leader said earlier that Belavia will operate flights to Crimea when Minsk needs it.
He also confirmed that his trip to the peninsula would mark the recognition of the republic as part of the Russian Federation.
Crimea became a Russian region after a referendum held there in March 2014, in which the majority of the peninsula's residents voted in favor of reunification with Russia.
