Venezuelan airline Conviasa, which has numerous flights to Cuba, will also connect the island to countries allied with the government of Miguel Díaz-Canel, such as Iran and Belarus, the Eurasian country’s media reported.
According to this report, Vyacheslav Khoroneko, general director of Minsk National Airport, announced on the Belarus 1 TV channel that Belarusians could “very soon” engage in tourism on the Caribbean island and also in Iran, one of the most disputed countries of Islam in terms of human rights, in particular the women.
The official said a lot of work was being done to organize direct flights between Havana and Minsk as part of an agreement with Venezuelan company Conviasa. In this sense, explained the senior manager, the Belarusian airport is considered a transit point for landing.
FLIGHTS FROM CUBA TO BELARUS AND IRAN
According to the information, the starting point will be Havana, with a stopover in Minsk and a final route in the capital of Iran, the city of Tehran. These three nations are allies on a political level, so it is logical that they are also allies in economic development or tourism exploitation. They also talked about direct flights from that country to Vietnam and Thailand.
“The issue is being worked on. We wish that very much. I think that the arrival of our tourists from the Republic of Belarus will have great potential. Russia is also not far away,” Khoroneko said in this regard. However, the official indicated that they will prioritize air deals with Russia.
Travel to Belarus, if it takes place, will be very easy for Cubans as it is among the countries that do not require a visa for these nationals. So for these trips from the island you need to buy a ticket and have a valid passport.
