Belavia Belarusian Airlines launches flights between Munich and the Belarusian capital of Minsk. Minsk is a city that brings people together. For many travelers, however, the attractions of this metropolis, with its 2 million residents, have remained a secret:
The idyllic city center, along the banks of the Svislač River, is home to impressive historical buildings alongside futuristic architecture and a wealth of hip cafés and restaurants. Outside the city, unspoiled nature awaits. In Narаchanski National Park, centered around Lake Narach, visitors can hike, fish or cycle amid thousands of hectares of forest.
Passengers can now choose from four weekly flights departing from Munich to the Belarusian capital. Flights will be carried out 4 times a week on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays with the departure from Minsk at 12:30 and arrival at Munich Franz Josef Strauss International Airport at 13:35. The return flight from Munich will be carried out at 14:15 on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays with the arrival at Minsk National Airport at 17:15. The time for all airports is local. Minsk Airport offers an excellent range of destinations, with attractive connecting flights to such countries as Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Armenia. The flight schedule also features more distant locales such as the Lebanese capital of Beirut and Baku in Azerbaijan.
Flight will be operated by Embraer-175 aircraft with a seating capacity for 76 people. Flight duration will be around 2 hours.
“The opening of the flight to Munich was truly a landmark event for which we had been preparing for several years. This year’s spring, the aviation authorities of Germany and Belarus reached an agreement to increase the frequency and routes of flights for the airlines of the two countries. Thanks to this decision, Belavia was able to add this new direction to its route network. We expect our countries to become closer in all respects: the development of business contacts, intercultural dialogue, and strengthening trade and economic relations. In addition, Belarusians will be able to get acquainted with the culture of one of the most interesting cities in Europe, which will contribute to the cultural integration of Minsk and Munich. For our guests, Minsk National airport can become a convenient international hub for flights to other countries. The flight schedule is designed so that passengers can comfortably make a transfer to the flights they are interested in”, – said Anatoly Gusarov, Director General of Belavia-Belarusian Airlines.
The cost for one-way flight tickets will be from 115 euros, and round-trip flight tickets will cost from 255 euros, including taxes and fees.
Munich International Airport has become the fourth airport in German direction on the route network of Belavia-Belarusian Airlines. Currently, Belarusian airline operates regular flights to the airports of Berlin, Frankfurt and Hanover.
”Munich Airport cordially welcomes the new Belavia connection between Minsk and Munich Airport. This route is already since long time wanted as Minsk was so far one of the top unserved destinations of Munich Airport”, – said Michael Kerkloh, Director General of Munich Airport.
Munich is the capital of the federal state of Bavaria. This city will be interesting for those who wants to visit museums, in which the works of famous painters are kept, learn about different styles of architecture and visit the BMW museum. Munich International Airport is located 30 kilometers from the city. The road to the airport takes 40-50 minutes depending on the chosen transport.
