Belavia can no longer operate flights to 21 countries. The company’s team “makes every effort to cope.”
The Belarusian state-owned airline Belavia has lost more than two-thirds of the destination countries for passenger traffic due to the closure of their airspace by a number of countries after the incident with the forced landing of a Ryanair aircraft in Minsk. About it reported press service of the company.
“Countries where Belavia can fly: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Russia, Israel, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Uzbekistan, United Arab Emirates,” the message says.
Belavia can no longer operate flights to 21 countries. It is noted that “this is a big loss”, but the company’s staff “is making every effort to cope.”
Following the results of the past week, Belavia suspended flights to Lithuania, Great Britain, France, Ukraine, Latvia, Finland, Czech Republic, Sweden, Estonia, Poland, Italy, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Spain, Hungary, Moldova, Serbia, Cyprus and Kaliningrad.
It is also reported that the airline is working to find new destinations for flights and adjust routes.
Meanwhile, the Aviation Department of the Ministry of Transport of Belarus said on Wednesday that it would appeal to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to assess the legality of the actions of Ukraine, the EU countries and other states that banned Belarusian airlines from using their airspace.
Formerly the head of Belavia Igor Cherginets called Western sanctions “mean”… In his opinion, the authorities of Western countries “with particular fascist perversity” are closing the air corridors.
