February 12, Pozirk.<\/em> <\/strong>Direct flights to Moscow with departure from Minsk and Homiel topped recent sales by the Belarusian flagship carrier Bie\u0142avija, while Istanbul was the most frequent choice for flights booked for March, Bie\u0142avija’s press office reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other popular destinations included St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad in Russia as well as Georgia’s Tbilisi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hit by international sanctions, Bie\u0142avia operates flights to 10 countries, such as Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, India, Armenia, Turkey, Uzbekistan, the UAE and Turkmenistan.<\/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
