MINSK, 9 June (BelTA) – The Minsk National Airport no longer sells its services in exchange for foreign cash, BelTA has learned.
Since the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus has not extended the Minsk airport's permit to accept foreign currency in cash, the Minsk airport services will no longer be available in exchange for foreign cash as from 00:00 on 10 June.
Clients are advised to pay in Belarusian rubles or use bank cards to buy the services.
BelTA reported earlier that the country's central bank has stopped giving new permits and extending existing permits that allow air transportation and medical service providers to accept foreign cash from natural persons. Cashless payments from non-resident natural persons are perfectly acceptable.
