Georgian Airways to open flights to Moscow

The Federal Air Transport Agency has allowed Georgian Airways to make
charter flights between Tbilisi and Moscow until 31 December 2010,
Interfax reports, citing the Agency.

The flights will be carried out four times a week, an advisor to the
agency’s head, Sergey Izvolsky, said.

Georgian Airways had been reported earlier to be making direct charter
flights to Moscow in parallel with the Russian company S7 Airlines,
which is licensed to make flights to Tbilisi until January 31, 2011.

Air connections between Russia and Georgia were halted after the
conflict in South Ossetia in August 2008. In 2010 Russian air
authorities started issuing licenses to Georgian Airways.
