Belarus and China are expanding flights.
The corresponding decision was signed by the Prime Minister of Belarus Alexander Turchin.
Each country will now be able to designate at least three airlines for passenger flights and one for cargo transportation. The airlines will also have the right to fly between Minsk, Beijing and three other cities in Belarus and China of their choice.
The route plan will also change: Alma-Ata in Kazakhstan will become an intermediate point for flights between countries.
Currently, Chinese Air China operates regular flights between Minsk and Beijing several times a week. Since October 2025, Belvia flies from Minsk to Sanya on Hainan Island. This route became the first regular long-haul route in the airline's history.
