Belarusian operator BySky, based at Minsk National airport, has signed a dispatch agreement with Latvia's Flight Consulting Group (FCG). Under the agreement, FCG will provide flight support services for BySky's fleet of two PC-12NGs, including flight planning, permissions, ground handling, fuelling, hotel accommodation, ticket purchasing for crew and transfers.

Supervisory council member Vitaly Kapitonov states: “One of the key reasons for us choosing FCG was its extensive experience and strong reputation. We are in the early stages of our development, and having a reliable partner at this time will be very helpful. Over the years, FCG has gathered a lot of experience and become a benchmark for quality.”

FCG director Sergey Starkov adds: “We very much appreciate having the trust of our colleagues and strive to meet all expectations. BySky's region is geographically close and familiar to us. I am sure that this partnership will be of mutual benefit.”
