Belavia opens a new flight Minsk-Geneva-Minsk
Belavia Belarusian Airlines has made a decision to start regular flights Minsk-Geneva-Minsk from December 17, 2013.
Flights to Geneva International Airport (Switzerland) will be performed on aircrafts Embraer 175, CRJ-100/200, Boeing 737-500, three times a week on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays. The cost of a round-trip flight in economy class will make up from 275 Euros and one-way trip - from 248 Euros; in business class from 975 Euros for a round trip and from 579 Euros one-way (the airport rates and charges included).
“First of all, we expect to see businessmen on this flight. Geneva is a major business center of Europe with a large number of companies and organizations Belarus has business relationships with. I hope that direct air traffic will facilitate strengthening of the relationships. Besides, our flight will be also interesting to transit passengers who travel via Minsk further within the Belavia route network. Of course, beside the business flow, the flights will be popular among tourists as well. In winter, flights to Geneva will be especially attractive for those who go skiing and snowboarding. Transfer from the airport to major ski resorts will take no more than 1-2 hours. The peculiarity of the Geneva Airport consists in the fact that it is actually located on the border with France that makes it especially attractive for tourists who seek to receive the maximum impressions within one trip. In summer time, tourists will be able to have a walk through the historical center of Geneva, see multiple sights and continue their journey across Switzerland, France and, possibly, Italy”, – said General Director of Belavia Belarusian Airlines, Anatoly Gusarov.
