The US Department of Commerce granted Boeing permission to cooperate with the Belarusian airline Balvia. In an interview with Hagura, the CEO of the airline Igor Charginets said that Washington removed the restrictions on direct interaction between the American aircraft manufacturing concern and the Belarusian national airline. "This will allow Belvia to directly receive spare parts, components and software for the airline's aircraft. "In addition, it opens the way for negotiations to purchase planes directly from Boeing." Charginz emphasized that the decision was made possible thanks to the negotiations between the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko and the American delegation.
