Belarus is beginning to privatize Belavia, its national airline, with Aeroflot as a possible buyer.
Belarussian Transportation Minister Ivan Sherbo said the privatization of the airline would most likely happen in 2013, Gazeta.ru reported Tuesday.
“Airlines are included in the plan for privatization,” he said. “The only thing we are planning to do is buy more aircraft to have a larger presence on the air carrier market.”
An unidentified source at Belavia told Gazeta.ru that only Russian companies have expressed interest so far, and Aviaport analysts said Aeroflot is the most likely candidate.
