May 18, 2015 (newstodate): Georgia's new airline and first LCC, Flyvista experienced a brief career only in the air.
Performing its first commercial flight on August 4, 2014, the carrier has now ceased all operations due to a unlucky combination of wrong timing, unreliable investors and Georgia's decision to restore requirements for visa with several countries.
The short-fall of the Russian market also had a strong effect on the carrier's development.
Flyvista was set up with the UAE-based aircraft leasing, charter and management solutions provider Aerovista as its partner and built up a fleet of Boeing 737-300 aircraft, the first of which landed at the airport on July 10, 2014, and later also adding Airbus A320 aircraft.
In the end, the carrier has built a fleet of four Boeing 737 and two Airbus A320 aircraft.
Plans were to successively build a route network including destinations Almaty in Kazakhstan, Baku in Azerbaijan, Istanbul in Turkey, Minsk in Belarus, Moscow in Russia, and Prague in the Czech Republic.
The carrier is managed by Gregory Pomerantsev as CEO, earlier serving with the Latvian carrier airBaltic as Senior VP Sales & Marketing.
