Belarusian authorities are definitely not saving on trips to other countries

“To tell the truth, we have already thought that Lukashenka went to China together with the others on a governmental Tu-154, thus saving the people's money, but no, nothing of the kind. As it has turned out, two planes took off from Minsk to China,” – Belorusski Partizan reports.

The day before, Belarusian delegation left on the governmental Tu-154. The flight range of Tu-154M is 3900 km, so it requires refuelling at half way. It landed in Novosibirsk for refuelling, where it was filmed by Russian spotters, who mistook it for “board №1”.

Meanwhile, Lukashenka and his entourage headed off to China on his Boeing 767-33KER today. Flight range of this model is 11 thousand kilometres, it’s almost 6500 kilometres to Beijing, so this Boeing does not require refuelling.
