Georgia will open the sky from July 1, but not for everyone

TBILISI, Jun 26 – Sputnik. Georgia will open the skies for specific airlines from July 1, despite the decision to postpone the resumption of regular flights, said Prime Minister George Gaharia, speaking in an annual report to parliament.

“Believe me, we are already negotiating with major airlines of the EU countries, and flights to many cities will open on July 1. It is easier for us: to carry out specific direct flights to specific countries, to specific green areas,” Gaharia said.

He noted that the main concern of Georgia is the health of citizens and this dictated a decision to extend the ban on regular flights.

“The reason for this decision was concern for citizens. We don’t want to spoil the country’s reputation. Despite the fact that many said yesterday that the European Union didn’t put us on the list of safe countries, although Georgia says it’s managed the pandemic. It will bring us, believe me me, “said Gaharia.

Georgia has already announced that from July 1 it intends to receive international tourists. After postponing the date of the resumption of flights, many started talking about the possible disruption of these plans.
