National carrier of Belarus launches flights to Dubai

Dubai International (DXB) has boosted its connectivity with the launch of scheduled services by Belarusian national carrier Belavia Airlines.

The airline's inaugural flight from Minsk arrived at DXB's Terminal 3 on Friday night (February 19).

It will operate two flights a week between Dubai and the Belarusian capital city on an Embraer 195-E2 aircraft with a capacity for 125 passengers.

The first flight was, however, operated on a 189-seater Boeing 737-800 aircraft due to heavy demand.
