Since last year, Russians have had major problems with how to get to Europe by plane. In most cases, they had to fly to Turkey. But soon there will be a shorter route. After the resumption of air traffic between Russia and Georgia, Georgian Airways, through its president Tamaz Gaiashvili, announced that it would begin operating transit flights from Moscow to European countries via Tbilisi.
