British Airways has announced it will begin operating direct flights from London Heathrow to Tbilisi, Georgia starting 30 March 2025.<\/p>\n
The new route will operate four times per week, providing a connection between the two capital cities.<\/p>\n
Neil Chernoff, British Airways’ Chief Planning and Strategy Officer, expressed enthusiasm about the new route.<\/p>\n
“We’re delighted to welcome Tbilisi back into our route network, after our last scheduled service in 2013,” Chernoff said.<\/p>\n
“We expect this to be a popular route with the leisure market, which has seen a strong comeback since 2019, as well as with those looking to enjoy direct flights to visit friends and family.”<\/p>\n
The flight schedule has been optimised to allow connections to other services from Heathrow, particularly to New York and European destinations not directly served from Georgia.<\/p>\n
Mariam Kvrivishvili, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia, welcomed the announcement.<\/p>\n
“We are proud that flagship carrier British Airways has decided to enter the Georgian market, which is important recognition for our country,” Kvrivishvili said.<\/p>\n
“This will significantly boost Georgia’s awareness within the UK market and improve connectivity with the USA, which is a strategic partner country of Georgia.”<\/p>\n
Flights will be operated using Airbus A320neo aircraft, offering both Club Europe (business class) and Euro Traveller (economy) cabins.<\/p>\n
Return fares start from \u00a3275, with British Airways Holidays offering two-night package deals from \u00a3369 per person.<\/p>\n
The new route will allow customers from eight UK airports, including Edinburgh, Belfast and Manchester, to connect seamlessly to Tbilisi via Heathrow on a single ticket.<\/p>\n
Georgia, located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, is known for its rich history, vibrant culture and 8,000-year-old winemaking tradition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
