Belavia expands its horizons with MIN flights to India

In the ever-evolving world of aviation, few stories resonate as powerfully as that of Belavia. Since its inception in 1996, the airline has been Belarus’s national carrier and also the largest airline within its borders. Rooted in history and driven by an unyielding commitment to connecting individuals and nations worldwide, Belavia’s resilient approach has enabled it to surmount challenges, expand its operations, and reinforce its global position.

Embarking on a new trajectory, Belavia has unveiled its India-bound aspirations, with Delhi as its inaugural destination. Meticulous preparations have paved the way for this significant venture by adhering to stringent Indian regulatory frameworks, and Belavia commenced its weekly flights on August 11, 2023, connecting the capital cities of Belarus and India. B2 757 will depart on Fridays at 20.25 (local time), with arrival in Delhi at 05.35. B2 758 will depart from Delhi on Saturdays at 06.55 and arrive in Minsk at 11.40. Igor Tcherginets, Director General, Belavia, stated, “With great preparation and cooperation from the government of India, we have been able to launch our flights between the two nations.”
