Georgian Post and Georgian Airways are offering entrepreneurs a new campaign titled ‘1 GEL and 1 Tetri,’ aimed at contributing to the development of the air freight business and export of Georgian products. Within the framework of the campaign, companies will be able to directly transfer Georgian products to 17 countries worldwide at a cost of 1.01 GEL per kilo of goods. The two national companies are uniting to encourage Georgian business and contribute to the import of Georgian products.
Within the framework of the project ‘1 GEL and 1 Tetri,’ a special export offer was introduced (1.01 GEL/kg) a tariff which includes the custom services and air freight costs.
The Georgian Post’s customs and warehouse terminal is located at the Tbilisi International Airport and comes fully equipped with the modern technologies required for ground and freight shipping services.
The terminal’s 24-hour operation regime, high standard of safety and separate exit to the airport ensure efficient and quality air freight services in accordance with international standards.

“With this project, we aim to use all the resources at our disposal to help national production discover new markets and export Georgian products to new destinations. This will help expand local production, creating new jobs and boosting the country's economy,” said Levan Chikvaidze, Director General of Georgian Post.
