The startup intends to begin operations in December, offering flights to destinations in France, Georgia, Iran, Israel, Moldova, Russia and Turkey.

Flights between Abu Dhabi and Moscow Vnukovo will start in December.

Turkish LCC ventures further into Georgia with new London link.

Athens will become the first destination to be served by the start-up, while a second route to Greece will start next month.

Wizz Air Abu Dhabi will begin operations in October with an initial network of six routes, one of which will compete directly with Etihad and Air Arabia’s newly launched rival.

The new air link will be introduced from December 18, 2015 and will be operated on a twice weekly basis using a mix of Boeing 737 and Embraer 190 equipment. The flights will operate from Kharkiv on Tuesdays and Fridays and from Kutaisi on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Located on the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Georgia is a historical and hospitable country, which is a gateway connecting several important economic regions including Europe, the Newly Independent States (NIS), Turkey, the Caucasus as well as Central Asia. As a geographical centre of gravity, air traffic has been consistently moving towards east and south, and this trend is expected to continue into the future.

Over the past ten years the country's largest international gateway, Tbilisi International Airport has seen a substantial growth in international seat capacity.

Georgia is an ancient gateway between Asia and Europe. United Airports of Georgia’s CEO, Ketevan Aleksidze, spoke with Jonny Williamson of our sister publication, Routes News, about the growth taking place in the country’s aviation sector.
