From July 16 Uzbekistan Airways introduces new regular passenger flights on Tashkent-Tbilisi-Tashkent route with a frequency of 2 times a week on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Flights will be operated by modern Airbus-320 aircraft.
Direct air communication between Uzbekistan and Georgia has been absent since the collapse of the USSR.
Russian president Vladimir Putin on June 21 signed a decree banning Russian airlines from July 8 to transport Russian citizens to Georgia. Tour operators and agents are advised not to sell vouchers.
In turn, the Uzbek airlines are going to ensure the transit of tourists from Russia to Georgia after the opening of direct flights. (Trend/Business World Magazine)
