Georgia welcomes the possibility of resuming direct flights with Russia

He recalled that in 2019 Russia unilaterally stopped flights.

“If flights are resumed, of course, this is very important for our fellow citizens, and we will welcome this,” Kobakhidze was quoted by TASS.

In January, Zurab Abashidze, the special envoy of the Georgian Prime Minister for the settlement of relations with Russia, said that the Georgian authorities were ready to start discussing the issue of restoring air communication with Russia, if the Russian side so desired.

Later, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Moscow hoped that direct flights to Georgia would soon resume.
