Lukashenka And His Entourage Flew To China On As Much As Two Planes

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.
