Georgia’s firm position is that flights between Georgia and the Russian Federation will only be operated by non-sanctioned airlines and carriers, the Georgian Civil Aviation Agency reported.

According to the Agency, all applications and supporting documentation provided by airlines will be thoroughly examined and verified by various procedures concerning sanctions.

“The Civil Aviation Agency consults and researches instances of nations who adhere to sanctions while having direct air traffic with Russia. The Civil Aviation Agency has received applications from several airlines requesting regular air traffic between Georgia and Russia. We emphasize that the decision will be taken after a thorough examination of the airlines and their aircraft’s present status in connection with international sanctions and restrictions. Flight permits will be provided following this principle,” the Civil Aviation Agency states.
