“Belavia” Airlines connected Minsk (Belarus) and Turkmenbashi (Turkmenistan) by direct flights. Previously, there were no direct regular flights between these cities.
On October 26, Turkmenbashi International Airport received the first passenger flight B2745 of the Belarusian air carrier “Belavia”.
An Embraer 195 aircraft from “Minsk” National Airport landed at Turkmenbashi Airport early this morning.
