Direct air connection between Israel and Belarus has been suspended since 2022. In early December 2025, it was announced that Arkia airline flights from Minsk to Tel Aviv would start in February 2026. As stated by Arkia Commercial Director Sapir Ifargan, this aligns with the company's plans to expand its flight network and reflects the growing interest of passengers in direct flights to Eastern Europe.
Flights were planned to operate twice a week — on Mondays and Fridays. They are also listed in the Minsk Airport's seasonal schedule: from February 6 to March 27.
However, they are not yet on the flight board, and it is impossible to buy tickets from Tel Aviv to Minsk and back on the carrier's website.
As confirmed to Office Life by Minsk National Airport, Arkia flights are not in the schedule for February. Whether they will appear in March is also currently unknown.
Previously, the domestic airline Belavia resumed regular flights from Minsk to Tel Aviv from January 8 — on Thursdays and Sundays — after an almost four-year break.
