The first 4 months of 2025 marked a remarkably successful period for Georgia’s aviation industry. Such a statement made today the Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Mariam Kvrivishvili.

“All 3 international airports together served approximately 2.2 million passengers [a 13% increase compared to the same period of 2024]. This figure represents a historic high for the country’s aviation sector. The number of flights operated at Georgian airports has also risen [with a 16% increase].

This demonstrates that Georgia continues to be a popular tourist destination. This year, 4 new airlines - British Airways, EasyJet, Edelweiss, and Transavia France - have joined our aviation market.

This expansion means increased flight frequencies and access to strategically important countries, which will boost passenger traffic and tourist flows. The Georgian government is actively negotiating with key international airlines to attract even more carriers to our aviation and tourism sectors.

I also like to announce that Air Serbia will soon begin operating regular flights connecting Tbilisi and Belgrade. All of these developments will contribute to strengthening our vital tourism and aviation sectors, positively impacting the country’s economy”, - said Mariam Kvrivishvili.
