Georgia continues to repatriate citizens from abroad

Georgia continues to repatriate fellow citizens from abroad amid the suspension of international air traffic due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Wizz Air and Myway Airlines will carry out charter flights in July 2020.

The flight schedule to bring Georgians home is as follows:

• July 13 – Warsaw
• July 15 – Barcelona
• July 17 – Rome
• July 22 – Paris
• July 28 – Athens

Ticket prices will not exceed €200. All citizens returning to Georgia will be placed under quarantine for 14 days.

The Council of the European Union recommended lifting border restrictions for 14 other countries including Georgia starting July 1. However, the recommendation is not obligatory and member states have the option of opening their borders gradually and not for all countries at the same time. 

Moreover, Germany has lifted entry restrictions for citizens of 11 non-EU countries including Georgia starting July 2.

However, Georgia will not allow regular international flights to resume until August 1, though local flights will be resumed in the near future.

The decision to resume regular air traffic will be made based on the epidemiological situation in the world and in Georgia, says the Georgian Civil Aviation Agency.
