MINSK, 27 July (BelTA) – The Transport and Communications Ministry of Belarus is waiting for a response of the Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsia) regarding the resumption of air travel between Belarus and Russia, BelTA learned from the press service of the Transport and Communications Ministry of Belarus.

“The Aviation Department of the Transport and Communications Ministry held consultations with Rosaviatsia and sent a letter to Rosaviatsia suggesting resumption of air travel. The Russian side has not responded yet,” the press service noted.

The ministry did not specify when flights might be resumed, as no agreement has been reached with Russia yet. “On our part, we are ready to resume air travel between our countries,” the press service noted.

A reminder, Russia announced a decision to resume some international flights from 1 August. International flights were grounded on 27 March to curb the spread of the coronavirus. The list of destinations will initially be limited to Tanzania, Turkey and the United Kingdom.
