The aircraft is flying along a safe route, bypassing dangerous territories. Due to the detour, a technical stop for refueling is planned in the Kazakh city of Aktau, after which the flight will continue its journey to Minsk National Airport. Arrival in the Belarusian capital is expected after two in the morning Minsk time.
Repatriation flights are also scheduled for March 4 and 5 on larger aircraft. They will fly from Minsk to Dubai without passengers.
