11:22, 16.05.2023

Russian Azimuth Airline removed Georgia’s occupied Abkhazia and South Ossetia regions from the list of the countries it operates three days ahead of the direct flights’ resumption between Georgia and the Russian Federation.

“Screen copies” of the air company’s official website posted on social networks previously showed Georgia’s occupied regions among the countries.

Azimuth Airline will operate Tbilisi-Moscow-Tbilisi flights every day from May 19.

Georgian Civil Aviation Agency reported on May 15 that flights between Georgia and the Russian Federation would be operated by non-sanctioned airlines and carriers.

On May 10, Russian President Vladimir Putin cancelled the ban on direct flights of Russian airlines and the sale of tours to Georgia that had been in force since 2019. By another decree, Russia lifted a visa requirement for Georgians.
