Georgia adds 2 direct flights from Copenhagen and Cairo starting June 27
Georgia adds two seasonal routes for summer travel
Georgia’s Civil Aviation Agency approved two seasonal direct routes for summer 2026: Copenhagen to Tbilisi and Cairo to Batumi. Norwegian Air Sweden will fly twice a week between Copenhagen and Tbilisi from June 27, then shift to a Sunday schedule in mid-August, while Air Cairo will run a weekly charter from Cairo to Batumi from June 30 to Sept. 22.
The routes are the first direct links between those city pairs. They add options into Tbilisi International Airport and Batumi International Airport during the summer navigation period, the agency said. More flights are already stacking up at Tbilisi, including recent service additions from Abu Dhabi and Frankfurt, while the airport continues a major expansion plan.
Who stands to gain
Scandinavian travelers get a faster path into the capital and Egyptian visitors gain direct access to Georgia’s Black Sea coast. For expats and digital nomads, the Copenhagen-Tbilisi service is the more useful of the two, especially for short relocations, scouting trips and repeat visits.
Georgia’s visa-free entry rules still do most of the work here. Many nationalities can stay for up to 1 year, so the route changes mainly affect time and convenience, not paperwork. Travelers should still check airline schedules closely, since the Batumi service is a charter and the Copenhagen route changes frequency in August.
What to book and when
Airlines should open fare sales through their own websites and both routes are approved only for the summer 2026 season. The schedule matters: Copenhagen flights run on Wednesdays and Saturdays at first, then Wednesdays and Sundays from Aug. 15; Cairo flights operate Tuesdays through late September.
For nomads tracking entry points, this is a simple logistics update rather than a rule change. Visa updates matter more than route growth for long stays, but these flights make Georgia easier to reach. Read our full Georgia guide for the complete picture.
