The flag carrier airline of Greece, Aegean Airlines, will carry out one flight between the Georgian capital city of Tbilisi and Greek Capital city of Athens in August, announces Georgian Economy Minister Natia Turnava. 

Turnava said that due to the epidemiological situation in Greece, one flight is an optimal number that is pleasing to both Georgia and Greece today.

Yesterday Turnava made a statement in response to the Ambassador of Greece to Georgia Dimitrios Karabalis who earlier said that Greece would have been one of the first countries with which Georgia would resume flights in July.

Turnava responded to him that there is a will to resume flights with Greece but flight confirmation has not been issued yet, and stated that business interests must be balanced with the epidemiological interests of the Georgian population.
