Belarus and China have agreed to increase the number of flights between the two countries. According to the new agreement, each side will be able to choose at least three airlines for passenger transportation and one air carrier for cargo, reports the press service of the Belarusian government.
Airlines will also have the right to operate flights to Minsk and Beijing, as well as to three more cities in Belarus and China of their choice. Almaty in Kazakhstan will become an intermediate point on routes between the two countries.
These changes will be introduced into the existing air traffic agreement, signed on January 17, 1995.
Currently, the Belarusian airline Belavia flies once a week to three Chinese destinations: Urumqi, Sanya on Hainan Island, and Xi'an. Chinese Air China operates flights between Minsk and Beijing twice a week.
Earlier, Belavia reported that they are working on expanding their presence in China. This involves not only increasing the number of flights on existing routes but also opening new ones. In particular, the airline is considering the possibility of flights to Guangdong province, where the cities of Guangzhou and Shenzhen are located.
