The final decision about the flights’ cancellation to the airport in Simferopol is taken due to the flat ticket sales.
The news was reported by Anatol Husarau, director general of Belarus` national airline to journalists in Minsk on April 18.
"We have the opportunity to operate flights, including to Simferopol, but this destination was not as popular this February, March and early April as the previous years. …There was an outflow of passengers even among those who had booked or bought tickets to this destination. This means that people returned their tickets. So, unfortunately, we have decided not to operate flights to Simferopol this year”, he said commenting on the decision.
When asked by a BelaPAN correspondent whether the decision might be reversed in the summer months, Mr. Husarau replied in the negative, emphasizing that “this is the final decision.” "We have already redirected planes to other destinations, including for charter flights."
Let us recall that on April 3, Belavia Deputy Director General Ihar Charhinets said that the airline had had to suspend flights to Crimea`s Simferopol because of low passenger loads. "The fact is that those flights were operated only three months a year, from the beginning of June to the end of August. If the flight has not been sold out now, when it will be sold out? There are some bookings, but there are very few of them compared with the same period, for example, last year and the year before. Sales of tickets have decreased several times. About 100 people have booked one-way tickets. There were much more bookings in previous years," he said then.
