Turkish Airlines has resumed regular flights between Istanbul and Minsk. The first aircraft of the Turkish carrier landed at Minsk National Airport on the night of September 21 — exactly on schedule.

The return of flights was greeted according to aviation tradition — the aircraft passed under a water arch. The crew and airline representatives were welcomed at the stairs with a Belarusian karavai.

In the initial phase, Turkish Airlines will operate between Minsk and Istanbul 6–7 times a week — both daytime and nighttime flights are scheduled. The price of round‑trip tickets starts at $985.80 (2980.47 Belarusian rubles). More detailed flight schedules and prices are available on the airline’s official website.

The resumption of the route gives passengers the opportunity not only to fly directly to Istanbul, but also to make convenient connections to other destinations thanks to the airline’s extensive route network.
