The new flight Kharkiv – Minsk interlines with the direction of “Belavia” to Moscow, St. Petersburg with short interlining at the airport in Minsk. Current information about the minimum tariffs will be known in the near future.
Recall that previously airline “Belavia” opened daily flights Minsk-Odessa which interlines in Minsk with flights to Russia. About the doubling of the frequency of flights between Kiev and Minsk also reported the International Airlines of Ukraine (IAU).
