Restrictions on Regular Int'l Flights Extended until October 1

Georgia is to remain closed to regular international flights until October 1, the Civil Aviation Agency reports. 

"Restrictions on regular international air services do not apply to direct international flights between Tbilisi International Airport and the airports of Munich (Germany) Paris (France) and Riga (Latvia).

"Therefore, if the epidemiological situation in Georgia and the mentioned countries does not worsen, the regular flights of airlines Lufthansa, AirFrance and airBaltic will be carried out in accordance with the established schedule.

"The decision on renewal/restoration of other scheduled flights will be taken on the basis of the epidemiologic situation in Georgia and worldwide. Taking into consideration that the situation in the field of aviation cannot be predicted and that decisions concerning global border and traffic limitations are periodically reviewed, we request citizens and passengers refrain from buying tickets on flights in either direction until the dates of restoration of scheduled flights and flight timetables are published by official sources," the agency said in a statement.

The opening of air traffic and international tourism in accordance with the safe corridors was scheduled for September 1. However, Georgia again postponed the access to regular flights until the beginning of October.

For the record, Georgia has opened its borders for travelers from five countries: Germany, France, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, and each of them has also opened borders to visitors from Georgia.

In addition, Georgia remains on the European Union's updated list of countries for which travel restrictions are lifted.
