Arkia was forced to cut its flights to the country after it was made known that the airport in Tbilisi had been bombed and that its radar was not working
 
After a three-month break due to the war between Russia and Georgia, Arkia Israel Airlines resumed its charter flights to Tbilisi.
 
Arkia was forced to cut its flights to the country after it was made known that the airport in Tbilisi had been bombed and that its radar was not working.
 
Tbilisi International Airport [TBS] is the main air gate of Georgia. It has a contemporary design with about 25.000 square meters of usable area. It has all high-tech contemporary systems.
 
Expectations are not very high that demand among Israeli tourists to fly to Georgia will be high.
 
The first Arkia flight, a B757, took off from Tel Aviv with only 70 passengers mostly businessmen on board.
