Belarus, Russia to enjoy common airspace
Belarus and Russia will become even closer in the aviation sector – as informed by Artem Sikorsky, the Director of the Aviation Department at Belarus’ Transport and Communications Ministry, in his talk with the STV TV channel
As noted by a programme presenter, Belarus and Russia are now getting closer in many areas. With this in mind, Mr. Sikorsky was asked whether similar tendencies are observed in the field of aviation.
“We have a separate roadmap focusing on civil aviation. It is quite extensive and involves not only economy-related issues but also those dealing with flight safety, aviation security, search and rescue, and many others. So we are liaising in many areas, including on reducing tariffs for Belarusian carriers,” the official commented.
According to Mr. Sikorsky, Belarus also offers Russia to consider the issue of сargo and passenger cabotage, when Belarusian carriers can operate flights on the territory of the Russian Federation. "By late 2022, we plan to make appropriate decisions on all points of these roadmaps," he noted.
