This is reported by Pentapostagma with reference to the official directive.

"The Hellenic civil aviation authority directs that the aircraft operated by the air carriers of Belarus are prohibited from landing, taking off from the territory of Greece or flying over its territory," the document says.

In addition, the directive prohibits Greek air carriers from flying to Minsk and flying into the airspace of Belarus.

It is noted that the relevant decision is connected with growing fears about the possible direct participation of Belarus in Russia's war against Ukraine. Thus, today the country's authorities approved the corresponding directive on the introduction of a number of restrictions.
