PM: Flights to Paris, France, and Munich will be Added from the End of October

Flights to Paris, France, and Munich will be added to the existing flights from the end of October, Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia stated at a briefing following the session of the government.

He noted that subsequently, in November, direct flights from Kutaisi to Europe will also be cautiously and gradually resumed.

"I would like to emphasize that, as you know, we have made use of quarantine spaces very effectively and today, Georgian citizens returning to Georgia have to stay in quarantine for 12 days. Since we have made the decision to gradually and cautiously resume air traffic from November, the first step will be to add flights to the existing ones from the end of October. These will be flights to Paris, France, and to Munich. The first step will be to organize additional flights to these destinations which, in addition to giving our citizens the opportunity to travel to Europe and giving our economy a little more oxygen, will also be of help to us, including in terms of bringing observers into the country in a simple manner. Furthermore, I would like to emphasize that subsequently, in November, direct flights to Tbilisi and to Europe, as well as from Kutaisi to Europe will be resumed in a gradual and cautious manner. We are doing this precisely in order to give our citizens the opportunity to become employed more easily through economic activity," the Prime Minister stated.
