Georgian Economy Minister Natia Turnava has said that the number of airline companies that are either increasing the frequency of weekly flights or new airlines that want to enter the country 'is growing very fast'.

This applies to Tbilisi International Airport, as well as to the renovated international airports in Batumi and Kutaisi", said Turnava.

She added that according to today's data, the government has more than 350 weekly flight applications for the summer period.

Turnava said that in 2019, when there was a record number of tourists during the summer peak season, about 800 flights were carried out a week.

We can expect that about 50% of the flights will be restored", Turnava said.

She said that the borders of Georgia are open for 55 countries from which travellers will be able to enter the country with evidence of full vaccination and negative PCR test results or alternatively only with a negative PCR test result taken within the last 72 hours.
