A Belarusian cargo carrier that began in 1997 as a customs and transport agency and became an airline in 2003, with headquarters and operating base at Minsk National Airport. It flies An-26B turboprop freighters on scheduled and charter cargo services; published schedules list Minsk to Warsaw and Prague, twice a week each, with charters covering Western Europe, Russia and Turkey. The company also holds a customs agency business and can handle declaration and bonded transport on site. It has no published China route or directly owned office, so Chinese cargo connects to Minsk through a third country, with the whole plan coordinated by us.
Chinese-language service provider: Goodhope Logistics (China) Limited, handling booking, customs declaration and end-to-end logistics for international air freight, on routes from China to the United States and all major continents.
Genex Ltd (ICAO three-letter code GNX, callsign AEROGENEX) was registered in Belarus in 1997, with its registered address and operating base at Minsk National Airport, and initially worked as a customs and transport agency on international road and air transport. In June 2003 management decided to develop into an airline and bought a first An-2, a type previously used for geomagnetic surveying, parachute work and aerial chemical application. In 2006 the company took delivery of its first An-26 transport and began international flights, the first route being Tallinn–Helsinki–Tallinn operated with DHL and Airest. Public sources list no IATA two-letter code for the carrier, which is identified by the ICAO three-letter code GNX.
Cargo operations are based at Minsk. After establishing cooperation with LOT Polish Airlines and Czech Airlines, the company operates scheduled cargo flights from Minsk National Airport to Warsaw and Prague under contract, twice a week each. Beyond scheduled flights it has a broad charter scope, listed in public sources as covering Western Europe, Russia and Turkey. The fleet is built around An-26B turboprop freighters with An-2 aircraft as well, and public sources put fleet size at four aircraft. Besides air transport, the company has held a customs agency business since it was founded, with capabilities covering declaration, bonded carriage, bonded transport and import and export formalities, and more than fifteen years of agency experience.
For China, public sources list no route operated by the company or office established in China. Its main type is a turboprop freighter that can operate on short and medium sectors and at airports with limited runway conditions, and its range is concentrated on Europe and the CIS. Chinese cargo can connect through a third country to Minsk and be distributed from there across Belarus and neighboring countries. For shipments originating in China, we can coordinate the transit routing and capacity as one arrangement. Capacity is small to medium, which suits smaller lots, shipments with specific airport requirements, or cargo needing temperature-controlled and special handling.

The information above is compiled from public sources. Fleet composition and route network may change with operational needs; the carrier's latest publication prevails.
Under cooperation contracts with LOT Polish Airlines and Czech Airlines, scheduled cargo flights operate from Minsk National Airport to Warsaw and Prague, twice a week each, which suits steady volumes of general cargo.
The An-26B hold has air conditioning, and public reference values show the hold temperature can be held between 5°C and 30°C, which suits cargo with temperature requirements.
The company has experience carrying live animals, and public sources list day-old chicks carried in Europe. Dangerous goods are carried under DOC 9284 and are not subject to the additional conditions that apply to passenger aircraft.
The company runs its own customs agency and can handle declaration, bonded carriage and bonded transport, completing clearance and transfer formalities on site in Minsk.
Capacity structure: capacity comes from turboprop freighters, with hold volume and single-flight payload in the small to medium range. That suits smaller lots and steady batches as well as special commodities needing temperature control, live animal or dangerous goods handling. There is no direct capacity to China, so anyone planning to use this capacity for Chinese cargo must state the transit airport, connecting sector and expected dwell time at the booking stage, and have the agent calculate total transit time and rate.
The Genex fleet is built around An-26B turboprop freighters with one An-2 aircraft. The An-26B is a twin-turboprop transport loaded through a rear cargo door, which can be operated in the lower fuselage position or lowered to the ground. Public reference values give a hold 10.0 m long, 2.30 m wide and 1.65 m high, about 60 cubic meters in volume, a standard payload of 5,500 kg that can be raised to 6,000 kg on request, and a maximum range of about 2,100 km. The hold has air conditioning to adjust internal temperature and can be fitted with a roller floor for pallet or container loading. The fleet has completed an avionics modernization with TCAS, EGPWS and GPS, and complies with the noise standard in ICAO Annex 16 Chapter 3.
| Aircraft type | Number | Category | Legs operated |
|---|---|---|---|
| An-26B | 3 aircraft | Twin-turboprop freighter | Scheduled and charter services to Europe |
| An-2 | 1 aircraft | Single-engine light aircraft | Special missions and support work |
The table is compiled from public sources. Payload and volume figures are public reference values; technical data and per-aircraft capability follow the carrier's published operating specifications.
| Maximum takeoff weight | 24,000 kg |
| Cruise speed | About 430 km/h |
| Maximum range | About 2,100 km |
| Standard payload | 5,500 kg, up to 6,000 kg on request |
| Hold volume | About 60 cubic meters |
| Hold temperature control | 5°C to 30°C |
| Cargo door width | 2.4 m, sill 1.45 m above ground |
| Specifications | Subject to the operating specifications published by the carrier |
The figures above are public reference values for hold internal dimensions. The loading plan must be calculated from the dimensions and weight of each piece, and actual loadability is subject to carrier confirmation on the day of booking.
Public sources list no route to China operated by the company and no record of an office established in China.No direct capacityChinese cargo can depart from gateways such as Beijing and Shanghai and connect to Minsk via a third country.
Minsk National Airport is the company's registered address and operating base, and its in-house customs agency can handle declaration, bonded carriage and bonded transport there.
Scheduled flights cover Warsaw and Prague twice a week each; public sources list charter operations covering Western Europe, Russia and Turkey, with specific points determined by each shipment.

Route details are compiled from public sources. No direct route to China is publicly documented, so the China sectors in the table are indicative connections. Schedules, stops and capacity are confirmed by the carrier on the day of booking.
The company has no direct capacity to China, so Chinese cargo must leave a domestic gateway, connect through a third country onto a company flight to Minsk, and be distributed from Minsk across Belarus and neighboring countries. The main type is a turboprop freighter, suited to smaller lots and steady batches and to special commodities needing temperature control, live animal or dangerous goods handling. Runway requirements are relatively modest, which helps regional distribution after Minsk.
Operational note:For shipments to the United States and Europe we match the main carrier's capacity on the appropriate route. Where the final destination is Belarus or a neighboring country and the lot is small, or the commodity is temperature-controlled, live or dangerous goods, we compare a third-country transit against a direct service with another carrier and quote accordingly.

The fleet consists of small and medium turboprop freighters and there is no direct capacity to China, so booking comes down to designing the transit routing, matching volume to aircraft type and confirming acceptance of special commodities. A forwarder that knows the China to Belarus lane reduces the number of handoffs and the risk of re-allocation, with the main value in the points below.
The An-26B hold has air conditioning, and public reference values show the internal temperature can be held between 5°C and 30°C, which suits seafood, fresh produce and special commodities with a defined temperature range.
The company is a freighter operator and carries dangerous goods under DOC 9284 without the additional conditions that apply to passenger aircraft; it has practical experience carrying live animals, with public sources listing day-old chicks.
Turboprop freighters have relatively modest runway requirements, and the fleet complies with the noise standard in ICAO Annex 16 Chapter 3 with avionics modifications completed, so it can operate at night, in bad weather and in mountainous conditions.
Alongside air transport the company runs its own customs agency and can handle declaration, bonded carriage and bonded transport, completing clearance and transfer formalities on site in Minsk.
An-26B standard payload is 5,500 kg with about 60 cubic meters of holdLimited capacity, so bulk full-pallet consignments and oversize pieces should be matched to heavy freighter capacity.
No published China route and no directly owned officeTransit required, so Chinese cargo must connect through a third country and total transit time is longer than on a direct route.
Scope: the company's strengths are small and medium shipments of special commodities such as temperature-controlled, live and dangerous goods, and distribution where the final destination is Belarus or a neighboring country. For bulk general cargo in full pallets or containers we usually put another carrier on the trunk sector and use Genex capacity for special commodities and regional distribution after Minsk, pricing each sector separately.
Cargo from Beijing, Shanghai and other gateways can connect through a third country to Minsk and be distributed from there across Belarus and neighboring countries. Choosing the transit routing means weighing the transhipment conditions, dwell time and document requirements at the transit airport, and we set out the carrier, expected transit time and cost structure for each sector in the plan.
Cargo shipped under temperature control must be booked with the commodity, packing specification, permitted temperature range and the necessary certificates. The An-26B hold air conditioning holds the temperature between 5°C and 30°C; requirements outside that range must be assessed separately and accepted by the carrier. Booking confirmation for such cargo usually takes longer than for general cargo, so it should be arranged early.
Dangerous goods are carried under the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DOC 9284). Freighters are not subject to the additional class restrictions that apply to passenger aircraft, but the shipper must still submit a complete dangerous goods declaration and packing certificate. Live animals have specific hold environment requirements, and the species, quantity, container specification and transport duration must be stated at booking.
No IATA two-letter code is published for the company; dealings with the carrier are verified against ICAO code GNX and call sign AEROGENEX. The way the air waybill is completed must be confirmed with the carrier at booking so documents are not rejected for a wrong carrier identifier.
Genex is a Belarusian cargo carrier. It began in 1997 as a customs and transport agency, started air transport in 2003 and is based at Minsk National Airport, where it also holds a customs agency licence.
The ICAO code is GNX and the call sign is AEROGENEX. No IATA two-letter code is published, so the carrier is identified by its ICAO code. The way the air waybill is completed must be confirmed with the carrier at booking.
No published information shows China routes or an office in China. Chinese cargo can leave from Beijing, Shanghai or other gateways and connect to Minsk through a third country.
Published scheduled services are Minsk to Warsaw and Minsk to Prague, two flights a week each, flown by An-26B turboprop freighters. No schedule is published for China, and there is no fixed frequency.
The published fleet is three An-26B and one An-2 aircraft. The An-26B flies the European scheduled services and charters, with a standard payload of 5,500 kg and a hold volume of about 60 cubic metres, so a single flight carries a moderate load.
Cargo arriving in Minsk can connect to the company's onward flights to Europe and the CIS, with ground distribution in Belarus and neighbouring countries. The company runs its own customs agency, so clearance and transshipment are handled locally. Shipments from China to the United States and Europe are matched to other carriers by Goodhope Freight.
