Belavia Airlines, is all set to launch its maiden non-stop flight connecting Minsk with Delhi on August 11. The service will initially operate on a weekly basis, with flights departing from Minsk on Fridays and from Delhi on Saturdays.
From September 20, the flight schedule will include an additional weekly flight on Wednesday from Minsk. The average flight duration is expected to be approximately seven hours.
These fights will provide necessary boost to commercial and political ties between India and Belarus, the airline claims.
The announcement of the commencement of flights comes against international pressure to boycott Belarus due to the nation's support for Russia in the ongoing conflict with Ukraine.
