Foreign Minister David Zalkaliani said that "it was decided to add two more flights as a result of our ongoing consultations" after a meeting of the Coordination Council.

Of course, these flights will be carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the World Health Organisation. Tickets will be on sale for two days before the flight date. We will continue to gradually return our citizens in the future too", Zalkaliani said.

The flights will be carried out by the national flag carrier Georgian Airways, and ticket price will not exceed €199.

Citizens that will come back to Georgia will be placed in 14-day quarantine.
