Mar 26, 2019 (newstodate): Georgian Airways is to increase its traffic to European destinations in summer 2019.
The carrier is thus to offer three weekly rotations, against two in summer 2018, to European destinations Amsterdam, Vienna, Bologna, Barcelona, Brussels and Prague, all operated with a mix of Boeing 737, Embraer E190 and E195 aircraft.
The carrier is, however, fighting hard in competition with a growing number of European and Russian airlines that are virtually swarming into Georgia that is fast becoming an important new tourist destination.
In this battle, Georgian Airways currently holds only 11 percent of the country's total air transport market.
In addition, Georgian Airways is also reportedly building up a debts pile with the Turkish company TAV managing the airports of Tbilisi and Batumi.
Winning a tender, TAV has been managing Georgia's Tbilisi Airport and Batumi Airport since 2005, later extended by another 11 years, for expiry by 2037.
The ex-candidate for the presidency of Georgia has now called on the country’s authorities to protect the interests of local businesses, including Georgian Airways.
