OREANDA-NEWS   Belarusian Prime Minister Roman Golovchenko said that Minsk and Moscow have agreed on common air navigation tariffs for airlines in both countries, and are now discussing the timing of the decision's entry into force.

"The same applies to tariffs for air navigation services. We will have to reduce to a single tariff both for Russian air carriers and for the national airline Belavia. Fundamental decisions have been reached, now we are discussing the timing of the entry into force of this decision," Belta news agency quotes the prime minister.

He stressed that "this will reduce the cost and tariffs for Belavia, respectively, there will be more opportunities for flights to the regions of Russia."

Earlier in March, the Minister of Transport and Communications of Belarus Alexei Avramenko said that Minsk and Moscow could sign agreements in the first half of 2023 on a phased transition to non-permissive road transport and on the alignment of air fares. He stressed that these are the two issues in the transport sector concerning the working conditions of aviation and road carriers, which Minsk and Moscow should solve in 2023 within the framework of integration union programs.
