The new metro stations are a nice New Year present from the state to all Minsk residents and guests. Now traveling around the capital city became even easier and quicker. 4 stations are already in operation along Zelenoluzhskaya line: Kovalskaya Sloboda, Vokzalnaya, Ploshchad Frantishka Bogushevicha, and Yubileynaya Ploshchad. They opened on November 7th, 2020.
It’s a long-standing tradition to give each new station of the Minsk metro its own character, features, and unique design. Aerodromnaya, for instance, is done in a blue-white-grey colour palette with lots of air and space created by bright, rhombus-shaped lighting fixtures imitating a clear blue sky with slight clouds. Longitudinal lines that bisect the lighting fixtures bring to mind a plane’s trail in the sky. Designers worked hard to honour the great past of the place where the Minsk airport used to be.

Both ends of the Nemorshansky Sad station platform are decorated with panels that looks like techno-style birch groves. The tiles underfoot remind of fallen leaves.
The Slutsky Gostinets station brings to mind Belarusian national ornaments; its walls and the ceiling are lined with cornflower-blue porcelain tiles.

All the finishing, by the way is done using Belarusian-made materials, including equipment like turnstiles and escalators.
Ahead of the ceremony, Chairman of the Minsk City Executive Committee Vladimir Kukharev reported to President Lukashenko on Minsk and Minsk metro's development prospects.
