This restriction does not apply to humanitarian circumstances and reasons related to the national interests and security of the United States
According to Deutsche welle, citing the US transportation authority, the US Department of Transportation has banned the sale of tickets for passenger flights between the US and Belarus, including connecting flights.
“The American Pilots Association ALPA welcomed this decision”, – reads the statement, – “However, the restriction does not apply to humanitarian circumstances and reasons related to the national interests and security of the United States.”
As you may recall, at the end of June, the U.S. White House imposed sanctions against Belarus and also suspended air links with that country due to the Ryanair plane landing in Minsk and the detention of Roman Protasevich.
