The entry of Norwegian is a historic event for Georgia

Another low-budget European airline - Norwegian is entering the Georgian air market. The second largest airline in Scandinavia will start operating on the Georgian air market from the summer of 2026.

"Direct regular air traffic between Tbilisi and Copenhagen will significantly increase connectivity, which, in turn, will have a positive impact on the attraction of tourists with purchasing power in Georgia and, accordingly, on the growth of revenues from the tourism sector," Tamar Ioseliani said.

According to the estimation of the deputy minister, Norwegian's entry into the Georgian air market La once again emphasizes the success of Georgia's aviation and tourism policy in the direction of market diversification and correct positioning of the country on international markets.

"We conducted negotiations with the Norwegian airline company, which is the second largest in the Scandinavian region, which ended with a successful result.
