About the work of "Belavia"
In September 2025, the United States lifted sanctions from the Belarusian airline "Belavia". This means that the carrier can legally service its Boeing aircraft.
At the same time, the American administration left in force the ban on "Belavia" flights to Russia on American-made aircraft. The restrictions also apply to flights to Crimea, Donbass and other Russian regions.
