Passengers of the Belavia special flight from Israel were welcomed at Minsk National Airport not only by families and friends, but also by the press. The Belarusians talked to journalists and shared their first emotions after landing on their native land
At present Belavia has 13 aircraft, with the average age at 11.2 years. “It is quite a good figure. Aircraft of Western manufacture can be operated forever, as a matter of principle.
