“We are putting great effort into diversifying the market and attracting new airlines to Georgian airspace. Bucharest will be the 42nd destination connecting our capital to the European Union,” stated Tamar Ioseliani, Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, regarding the entry of a new European airline into the domestic market.

According to the Deputy Minister, Dan Air is the 50th airline to enter the country’s aviation sector.

“From the 1st of July, a new route will be added to the Georgian aviation market. The Romanian airline Dan Air will operate flights on the Bucharest–Tbilisi–Bucharest route twice a week, connecting the two capitals. Dan Air is the 50th carrier overall and the 17th European airline to operate in the country’s aviation market.

We are investing significant effort into ensuring the market is diversified and that new airlines enter Georgian airspace. Bucharest will become the 42nd destination connecting our capital to the European Union. For us, this market is a paramount and strategic direction. Year after year, we dedicate immense effort to sustaining this upward trend, deepening people-to-people and economic ties, attracting more tourists, and raising Georgia’s profile across European markets,” Tamar Ioseliani noted.

The Civil Aviation Agency, a legal entity under public law operating under the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia, granted Dan Air the required flight permit on June 9.
