On March 31, British Airways successfully operated its inaugural flight to Tbilisi International Airport. The flight was conducted with an Airbus A320, carrying 156 passengers on board.

The airline will now operate direct, scheduled flights between London and Tbilisi. This service will run four times a week. It offers enhanced connectivity between the two capitals.

British Airways is a renowned global airline brand founded 50 years ago, with over a century of aviation history. Notably, the airline is a co-founder of the OneWorld alliance. It is one of the world’s top three airline alliances alongside SkyTeam and Star Alliance. This was established in partnership with American Airlines.

British Airways currently serves over 190 destinations across 65 countries, with its main hub located at London Heathrow Airport, one of the busiest airports in Europe.

This new route between Georgia and the United Kingdom is the result of intensive negotiations between British Airways and United Airports of Georgia, with strong support from the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia.
