Tajik carrier Somon Air will launch direct flights between Dushanbe and Minsk later this month, expanding air connectivity between Tajikistan and Belarus. This was reflected in the statement by the Somon Air. "The launch of this new route will enable passengers from Tajikistan to travel directly to the capital of Belarus," Somon Air said. Somon Air continues to expand its international route network as demand for direct connections from Tajikistan to regional and international destinations grows. The addition of Minsk further broadens the carrier's network and provides travelers with another direct link to Eastern Europe.
