October 30, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Bie\u0142avija (Belavia) is to launch regular flights between Minsk and \u00dcr\u00fcmqi on December 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state-owned airline scheduled departures from Minsk for 11:10 a.m. and arrivals for 1:00 a.m. Passengers can expect to spend about 6 hours and 40 minutes in the air. Round-trip tickets start at \u20ac341.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarusians can visit China visa-free for up to 30 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bie\u0142avija currently operates flights to Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, India, Kazakhstan, Russia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, the UAE and Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The European Union banned it from its airports following the May 2021 Ryanair Flight 4978 forced landing. Belarusian security officers cited a false bomb threat to divert the passenger aircraft to Minsk and arrest prominent journalist Raman Pratasievi\u010d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident has not been properly investigated because Belarusian officials denied international experts access to key evidence and witnesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The International Civil Aviation Organization Council determined that the bomb threat against Ryanair Flight 4978 \u201cwas deliberately false and endangered its safety, and furthermore that the threat was communicated to the flight crew upon the instructions of senior government officials of Belarus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs neither a bomb nor evidence of its existence was found during pre-departure screening in Athens Greece and after various searches of the aircraft in Belarus and Lithuania, it is considered that the bomb threat was deliberately false. Knowingly communicating false information which endangers the safety of an aircraft in flight is an offence under Article 1 (1) (e) of the Montr\u00e9al Convention,\u201d it said<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
