However, Georgia announced yesterday on June 25 that regular international flights will not resume until August 1.

The decision to resume regular air traffic will be made based on the epidemiological situation in the world and in Georgia", reads the statement published by the agency.

The Civil Aviation Agency calls on citizens not to buy tickets until the exact date of the resumption of international flights is not announced by 'official sources'.
