The national airline of Belarus, Belavia, have received their first Boeing Next Generation 737-800. The 737-800NG was selected for its cost-efficiency and a maximum range for flight operated to Europe and Central Asia.

The airplane also features a new livery for Belavia. The idea was to give the airline a more modern look and distance its from its old Soviet Union image.

“Belavia focuses on reliability and punctuality in its work,” said Anatoly Gusarov, general director, Belavia. “In order to ensure full adherence to our principles, we made our choice focusing on aircraft performance. Therefore, we hope to increase our dispatch reliability and punctuality rate even further after bringing 737 airplanes into operation.”
