The Civil Aviation Committee of the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Kazakhstan continues its efforts to expand the geography of flights and increase the number of international air routes on a regular basis.

Starting from August 10 of this year, the Kazakhstani airline SCAT will launch direct regular passenger flights on a new international route Almaty–Minsk, with a frequency of two flights per week (on Wednesdays and Sundays).

Currently, Belavia, the national airline of Belarus, operates flights from Astana to Minsk with a frequency of four flights per week.

Thus, the total number of regular passenger flights between Kazakhstan and Belarus will increase to six per week.

The launch of this new air connection is expected to further promote tourism, trade, economic, and business cooperation between the two countries.
