Russia, Belarus to amend bilateral agreement


Russian and Belarusian aviation authorities have agreed to change their bilateral agreement, excluding frequencies and capacity limits on routes between the countries. Belarusian carriers will be able to choose any number of destinations in Russia.
According to a statement released by the Russian Ministry of Transport, the rules and number of frequencies approved earlier will remain in effect through May 10 until changes are made.
Last week the dispute between Russian and Belarusian authorities nearly stopped flights between the countries . The conflict revolved around the number of frequencies on the Moscow-Minsk (MSQ) route. Belavia Belarusian Airlines (B2) operates four flights a day between the cities while Russian Aeroflot (SU) had permission for three flights per day, and UTair (UT) for one flight. Several months ago, S7 Airlines received rights for one flight per day, starting from March 26.
