No Agreement on Tbilisi-Moscow Charter Flights

Tbilisi-Moscow charter flights will not happen before the resumption of regular flights between the two countries, a spokesperson for the Russian embassy in Tbilisi said on August 2.

Failure to reach agreement has been attributed to Moscow?s demand that only Russian air carriers operate the charter flights.

Russia says a USD 3 million debt owed for air traffic services by Georgian airlines must first be paid off, before Georgian airlines are allowed on the route. The Georgian side has denied that there is any outstanding debt.
