Georgian air carrier Georgian Airways will launch transit flights to Europe for Russians. The founder of the company Tamaz Gaiashvili told RTVI about this.

According to him, from June 15, flights to five European cities with one transfer will be available to Russian citizens. Domestic tourists will be able to fly from Tbilisi to Milan, Paris, Vienna, Larnaca and Thessaloniki. "We'll see how this case goes," Gaiashvili said. — But we think there will be sufficient demand on these routes. It will be more convenient and faster through Tbilisi than in other directions."

The founder of the airline also noted that, according to Georgian Airways forecasts, passenger traffic between Russia and Georgia will gradually recover. "Naturally, we will maintain air communication with Russia," he added. — Nothing will happen with this. The Georgian government welcomed this decision very warmly. God grant that it will never be interrupted again."

Earlier in May, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said that launching direct flights with Russia is a natural process. The Prime Minister stressed that flights between the two states are important for a million ethnic Georgians living in the territory of the Russian Federation.
