Georgia rejects Russian-based airline to operate in the country

The Georgian Civil Aviation Agency has already twice refused Rossiya Airlines, which applied to make flights to Georgian cities.

The reason for the refusal was Western sanctions against a number of Russian airlines, including Rossiya, Caliber.Az reports citing the Georgian media.

The Civil Aviation Agency refused for the first time from Moscow-Tbilisi-Moscow flights on May 16 while for the second time, on September 14, from Moscow-Tbilisi-Moscow; Moscow—Batumi—Moscow and St. Petersburg—Tbilisi—St. Petersburg flights.

Earlier, information appeared on the Rossiya Airlines website, according to which Rossiya Airlines will begin to make flights to Tbilisi from October 14 twice a day and to Batumi three times a week.
