easyJet celebrates first flight to Georgia with direct flight to Tbilisi

 

• easyJet’s inaugural flight to the Georgia took off for the first time today from London Luton Airport 
• The airline is now offering the direct route from the UK to the Georgian capital, known for its history, culture and natural beauty
• The route operates twice weekly throughout the summer 

 

easyJet has today celebrated its first flight taking off to the Georgian capital Tbilisi from London Luton Airport.

 

The inaugural flight departed on time at 12:25 for the very first time to the airline’s newest network destination and is scheduled to arrive into Georgia at 20:25 local time.

 

The new city link is already proving popular with customers, who are choosing to explore Tiblisi as a new city break destination and as a gateway to discover more of Georgia.

 

The new service will continue to operate twice a week on Tuesdays and Saturdays throughout the summer season.  The airline has also launched new routes to Tbilisi from Geneva and Milan Malpensa this year.

 

Tbilisi offers an untapped, affordable city break and a rich blend of history, diverse architecture, and culture. The city’s picturesque Old Town streets, historic sulphur baths, and a lively arts scene, alongside opportunities to sample traditional Georgian cuisine and award-winning wines mean it’s a new destination to rival the more traditional staples.

 

To support increased choice and connectivity from London Luton, the airline recently based an additional Airbus A320 aircraft at its Luton base, meaning easyJet’s Luton fleet now comprises 25 A320 family aircraft.

 

Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK Country Manager, said:

 

“We are really pleased to be celebrating this exciting new route in easyJet’s network and to be providing unique direct connectivity between the UK and Tbilisi in Georgia this summer. 

 

“It will provide even more choice for our customers flying from London Luton who choose us for our unrivalled network which we continue to strengthen, our crew and their fantastic service, and of course our great value fares.”

 

Over seven million passengers choose to travel with easyJet to 74 destinations from London Luton each year and since easyJet’s very first flight from London Luton to Edinburgh almost 30 years ago, the airline has flown over 124 million passengers from the airport.
