## Description

Sanctions have left Gomel Airport (IATA: GME, ICAO: UMGG) a single-carrier operation: Belavia flies Embraer regional jets from Belarus's third-largest airport, mainly to Moscow and St Petersburg, with seasonal leisure links to Antalya and Sharm el-Sheikh. The field sits on the north-western edge of Gomel, the country's second city, near the Russian and Ukrainian borders. Scheduled traffic was modest even before Western airspace closures and is now essentially limited to Russia, the CIS and charters. The airport handles no air cargo; freight for the region clears through the national hub at Minsk (MSQ), about 300 km to the north-west.
