Belarus has a convenient geographical location for travelers from our country. There are no problems with flights, for which a number of large aviation harbors are responsible.
The largest airports in Belarus: list
Consider Belarusian airports that provide both international and local air services. These are the air hubs:
Minsk Airport
The presented international flights reception center is located in close proximity to the
capital of Belarus. This modern, well-equipped airport is located 30 kilometers from the city center.
Other airports in Belarus do not have such a developed infrastructure. Here, passengers are available to numerous cafes and restaurants, shops, first-aid posts, comfortable waiting rooms and a whole host of other amenities.
In the vicinity of the international aviation harbor, there is also an old airport, which is known as Minsk-1. Not so long ago, the indicated item had the status of the main site, which accepted ships from all over the country. However, due to its modest size and insufficient quality technical equipment, this airport was unable to service flights from non-CIS countries. Currently, it is planned to equip a residential city block on the site of the old Minsk-1 airport terminal, while preserving existing buildings.
Brest Airport
Brest is one of the largest cities in the extreme western point of the state. It has its own aircraft reception point.
The local airport terminal is 12 km outside the city. The international status of this airport was assigned relatively recently, after the modernization of terminals, runways and equipment, which was carried out in 1999.
About 400 passengers pass through the indicated point within an hour. There are numerous waiting rooms, information bureaus, ATMs, currency exchangers, children's rooms, car parks, and other amenities that are included in the standard set for each modern airport.
Gomel Airport
Looking at the airports of Belarus, you can not ignore the terminal, which is located in Gomel. It is located 4 kilometers from the city center.
For a long period, the presented point served exclusively for receiving agricultural aviation and local flights. Only in 1993 did the airport modernize, which allowed it to acquire international status.
Local infrastructure includes:
- cafeterias, canteens, restaurants;
- small hotels and lounges;
- luggage storage;
- medical posts;
- car parks;
- lounges for waiting and receiving delegations.
Grodno Airport
Continuing the list, which includes the international airports of Belarus, it is worth noting the terminal, which is located in Grodno. This air harbor not only serves local flights, but also provides transit for liners that travel between Europe and Asia.
The airport has a highly developed infrastructure, which is not inferior to the equipment of the above air points. All services necessary to ensure flight safety and passenger comfort are concentrated here.
Eventually
So we examined the largest airports in Belarus. Despite the rather modest territory, this country has a number of airports that have international status. To get to any of them, a traveler from Moscow will have to spend no more than an hour and a half. In the end, an inexpensive flight will allow you to leave more time for exploring local attractions.
