Georgia Resumes Regular Flights to Several More Cities

Georgia resumed direct regular flights in several more directions. The flight schedule from November 1 to 30 was published on the website of the Civil Aviation Agency.

Georgia suspended flights to all destinations in mid-March, when the World Health Organization declared the spread of coronavirus infection a pandemic. Since then, only special flights have been carried out from Georgia and back, aimed at returning the citizens of the country to their homeland.

Regular flights to Munich, Paris and Riga were resumed mid-summer.

In early October, low-cost airline Wizzair resumed regular flights from Kutaisi to Riga.

In November, direct regular flights from Tbilisi International Airport will also be carried out in the directions of Doha, Istanbul, Warsaw, Athens, Amsterdam, Vienna, Berlin, Minsk, Kiev and Aktau, and from Kutaisi International Airport to Vilnius and Dortmund.

The decision on the frequency of flights is made by the Civil Aviation Agency individually in agreement with the Ministry of Economy of Georgia, and also depends on the companies themselves and their commercial capabilities.

The Georgian government has changed the rules for quarantine for foreign citizens, and now a number of foreigners and citizens of Georgia will no longer be forced into quarantine zones.

Georgian citizens arriving from 13 European countries, and their family members, will not have to undergo quarantine upon arrival in the country if they have a negative PCR test for coronavirus, done within 72 hours. These countries are Spain, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Greece, Sweden, Croatia, Italy, Cyprus, Slovenia and Iceland.

Georgian citizens and their family members, if they have a PCR test, will only go through self-isolation for 8 days. If the test is not available, quarantine will be required.

The same applies to citizens of the above countries and those with a residence permit in these countries, but only if they arrive from these countries by air.
