MINSK, 17 January (BelTA) – Nordavia, a Russian airline, has been authorized to serve the route St Petersburg-Minsk, BelTA learned from the Aviation Department of the Belarusian Transport and Communications Ministry.
“Nordavia applied for authorization even earlier than the Pobeda airline. Pobeda was authorized to operate St Petersburg-Minsk flights in early December 2017,” the department said and clarified that Nordavia has been allowed to launch the flights as from March. There is no specific information on the flight schedule for the time being.
