Belarus has a convenient geographical location for travelers from our country. There are no problems with flights, which are responsible for a number of major aviation harbors.
Largest airports in Belarus: list
Let's consider Belarusian airports, which provide both international and local air traffic. These are air hubs:
- Minsk;
- Brest;
- Gomel;
- Grodno.
Minsk Airport
The presented point of reception of international flights 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 have access 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, this point had the status of the main site, which received liners from all over the country. However, due to its modest size and insufficient technical equipment, this airport was unable to serve flights from far abroad. Currently, on the site of the old air terminal Minsk-1, it is planned to equip a residential city block, while retaining the existing buildings.
Brest Airport
Brest is one of the largest cities in the extreme western point of the state. It has its own reception point for aircraft.
The local airport terminal was taken out of the city at a distance of 12 kilometers. The international status of this airport was assigned relatively recently, after the modernization of terminals, runways and equipment, which was carried out in 1999.
Within an hour, about 400 passengers pass through the specified point. There are numerous waiting rooms, information desks, ATMs, currency exchange offices, children's rooms, car parking, and other amenities that are standard for every modern airport.
Gomel Airport
Considering the airports of Belarus, you can not ignore the airport 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 the reception of agricultural aviation and local flights. It was only in 1993 that the airport was modernized, which allowed it to acquireinternational status.
Local infrastructure includes:
- cafeterias, canteens, restaurants;
- small hotels and rest rooms;
- luggage storage;
- first-aid posts;
- car parks;
- waiting and reception halls for delegations.
Grodno Airport
Continuing the list, which includes the international airports of Belarus, it is worth noting the airport terminal, which is located in Grodno. This air harbor not only serves local flights, but also provides transit for airliners that move between Europe and Asia.
The airport has a highly developed infrastructure, which is not inferior to the equipment of the above aviation points. All the services necessary to ensure the safety of flights and the comfort of passengers are concentrated here.
In the end
So we looked at the largest airports in Belarus. Despite the rather modest territory, this country has a number of airport terminals 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. Ultimately, an inexpensive flight will leave more time for sightseeing.
