Regular flights between Kutaisi and Lyon are scheduled to begin on June 3. This new direct route will operate twice a week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays, connecting Kutaisi David Agmashenebeli International Airport with Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport.
According to the United Airports of Georgia, Wizz Air decided to establish this route following extensive negotiations.
Irakli Karkashadze, General Director of the United Airports of Georgia, emphasized that the new connection will enhance travel opportunities for Georgian citizens and strengthen diplomatic ties between Georgia and France.
“Lyon will become the second French city with direct air connectivity to Georgia, following Paris. This new route will provide comfortable travel options to one of France’s key cultural and economic centres.
It is particularly exciting for Georgian football fans, who will find it easier to attend club matches featuring Giorgi Mikautadze, striker for Olympique Lyonnais, and to witness him compete in the prestigious UEFA Champions League,” Karkashadze stated.
Tickets to Lyon are already available on Wizz Air’s website, www.wizzair.com. Currently, Wizz Air operates flights from Kutaisi International Airport to 23 destinations across 15 countries in Europe and the Middle East. Additionally, the airline plans to resume flights to Madrid and Hamburg in April.
