Facing the loss of as many as 1 million Russian tourists during the second half of this year

Facing the loss of as many as 1 million Russian tourists during the second half of this year, Georgia received a Western boost Wednesday when Wizz Air signed a deal with Kutaisi, Georgia’s fastest growing airport, to add flights from 12 new EU cities. With most flights starting in August-September, Kutaisi, Georgia’s second busiest airport wins Georgia’s first flights from Finland and Sweden. Wizz Air says it is buying two Airbus A 320s to handle the Kutaisi routes.
