Belarusian flag-carrier Belavia is intending to stop operations with its older-generation Boeing 737s as it looks towards taking the 737 Max.
Belavia has appointed a new general director, former marketing director Igor Cherginets, to succeed long-term airline chief Anatoly Gusarov.
Cherginets says the airline is planning to modernise with the Embraer 195-E2 and preparing to acquire the 737 Max 8 following its ungrounding by the US FAA.
“By the end of the year we plan to end the operation of Boeing [737] Classics,” he states.
