The statement made by the Civil Aviation authority said:

‘Decision on renewal/restoration of other scheduled flights will be taken on the basis of the epidemiologic situation in Georgia and worldwide. Taking into consideration that the situation in the field of aviation cannot be actually predicted and that the decisions concerning global border and traffic limitations are periodically reviewed, we request the citizens and passengers to refrain from buying the tickets on flights in either direction until dates of restoration of scheduled flights and flight timetables are published by official sources.’
