Norwegian has launched its first scheduled flights to Georgia, entering the country’s aviation market. Georgia’s Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development said the inaugural service landed at Tbilisi International Airport, where it was welcomed by Deputy Minister Tamar Ioseliani. The low-cost carrier will operate the route Copenhagen–Tbilisi–Copenhagen twice a week, increasing direct air connectivity between Georgia and Northern Europe. The opening ceremony also included Levan Moseshvili, Director General of the United Airports of Georgia, and Tea Zakaradze, General Manager of TAV Georgia, which operates Tbilisi and Batumi international airports. The ministry noted that passenger traffic between Georgia and Europe continues to grow, citing 952,480 travelers in the first five months of 2026, up 18% year-on-year. It added that during the peak summer season of 2026, airlines are expected to serve Georgia–Europe on 46 routes with about 170–175 weekly frequencies.
