Turkish Airlines has resumed flight operations between Istanbul and Minsk. This reactivation is intended to facilitate commercial ties and direct contact for the business community, specifically aiding B2B meetings, factory visits, and investment discussions.

The renewed link aims to leverage synergies between Belarus’s industrial infrastructure and Turkey’s production and export capacity in sectors such as automotive sub-industry, machinery, energy equipment, and production technologies.
