MINSK. May 7 (Interfax) - Belarusian airline Belavia is preparing to resume flights to the United Arab Emirates on May 22, the company's press service said on Wednesday.

"Belavia plans to resume regular air service between Minsk and Dubai on May 22, 2026, provided that safe flight conditions are met," the press service said.
