OREANDA-NEWS. December 29, 2012. New Belavia route Minsk-Barcelona was inaugurated in Minsk International Airport on December 26, 2012. The capital of Catalonia has become the 41st destination in Belavia network.
 
New Embraer-175 aircraft are ready to transport passengers between the two cities twice a week in just 3 hours and 45 minutes.

 Anatoly Gusarov, Belavia General Director: “For many years we had been operating summer charter flights between Minsk and Barcelona. That is why the new scheduled route to the Catalonian capital is a logical step forward. Barcelona is a major tourist destination, which will be interested for our passengers all the year round”.
 
The route will be aimed both on travelers starting their journey in Minsk and transit passengers from Russia and CIS. During the winter season the destination will also attract tourists going to Andorra mountain ski resorts.
