New page in the history of the National Airport Minsk. Today, the second airstrip was solemnly opened there. This will be a step towards the development of the transit attractiveness of the country.

The second runway was commissioned just before the European Games, which will be held in June, and we will meet the guests updated. Today, the National Airport takes about four and a half million passengers a year. The flow is growing. The commissioning of the strip, as well as the renewal of the airport complex, which took place before the World Hockey Championship, will make it possible to meet even more people without serious consequences. By 2021, when the modernization is complete, they expect to receive up to 9 million passengers annually. The President was informed about plans to organize a railway communication between the capital and the airport and the industrial park “Great Stone”. The head of state ordered to make the transport communication as convenient as possible for people and not to delay the reconstruction of the first runway.
