Direct flights to Georgia are planned to be launched by AIR CHINA from September

According to Georgian Deputy Economy Minister Mariam Kvrivishvili, Chinese tourists traditionally choose long-term tours and have high spending power. Tourism and civil aviation sectors, as well as bilateral trade and economic relations will benefit from the increase of the number of visitors from China caused by direct flights between the two countries.
As Chinese Civil Aviation Agency said on Wednesday, the country’s largest airline AIR CHINA is interested in launching direct flights between Georgia and China from September.
According to the state Agency, launching direct flights between Tbilisi and Ürümqi three times a week is being considered by AIR CHINA.
“An additional impetus” to deepening cooperation in the civil aviation sector, given by the visa visa-free travel regime between the two countries, was emphasized by Kvrivishvili.
She said that China is a new priority destination for the Georgian tourism sector.
As the Deputy Minister added, there are active negotiations between the Georgian Government and other Chinese companies regarding the start of flights from different cities.
