Investment in Minsk Airport is a bet on continuation of the Ukraine-Russia freeze on direct flights. In 2016-2017, the first full two years of the ban, passengers handled by Minsk jumped by 48%. Most of the 1.3 million new passengers a year fly to or from Ukraine. Specializing in the ‘sanctions busting’ trade, Belavia flies to Ukraine’s five largest airports and to eight Russian cities. Kyiv-Minsk is a one-hour hop.
