The country is proud to claim that it is the birthplace of wines, with an 8,000 year old history of winemaking. It remains a dominant part of its culture even today.
Tbilisi is situated on the banks Mtkvari River surrounded by hills and the Caucasus Mountains. The city is a popular destination for tourists who want to enjoy the charm of its cobbled city centre, its unique blends of architecture, as well as its diverse cuisine that has been influenced both by its history and its surroundings. The canyons and caves near Kutaisi and multiple UNESCO World heritage sites are within easy reach for avid explorers.

Neil Chernoff is British Airways’ Chief Strategy and Planning Officer, he said:
“We are delighted to welcome Tbilisi into our route network after our last scheduled flight in 2013. This route is expected to be popular with the leisure market which has been resurgent since 2019 as well as those who want to fly directly to their friends and families. We look forward improving the connectivity between both capital cities next year.”

“We’re proud that British Airways, the flagship carrier, has decided to enter Georgian market. This is an important recognition of our country.”
This will increase Georgia’s profile in the UK market, and improve its connectivity with the USA.
