He noted flights being now available to 27 destinations from the Airport meant the number of available destinations had fully recovered from the pre-pandemic year of 2019.

In addition, this year will be a historic year because we are expecting more than a million passengers at Kutaisi International Airport, which means that [the facility] will set a new word in the Georgian airline market”, Karkashadze said.

Flights to all five destinations will be carried out twice a week, while the frequency of connections will also be increased by one flight each to Paris, Milan, Prague and Memmingen.
