Passenger traffic at Minsk National Airport over 540,000 in August

MINSK, 13 September (BelTA) - Passenger traffic at Minsk National Airport exceeded 540,000 in August and 535,000 in July, BelTA learned from Vasily Kornev, Deputy General Director of Minsk National Airport.

Twenty air carriers fly to Minsk National Airport. “Thus our route map covers 60 destinations. We are striving to reach Munich, Dusseldorf, Tallinn, Madrid. We see which routes are popular with our passengers and suggest them to the airlines. We recommend they study this issue every year and for this we hold meetings several times every year," Vasily Kornev said.

Minsk National Airport operates based on the hub model. This season has also become successful for charter flights. More people preferred to fly on vacation out from Belarus in comparison with last year.

In 2017 the airport accommodated over 4 million passengers. Every third person chose the Minsk airport as a transit point en-route to other business or leisure destinations. This year the airport looks set to welcome more than 4.5 million passengers.
