Sky Georgia (Georgian: საერთაშორისო ავიაკომპანია „სქაი ჯორჯია“ - saertašoriso aviaqompania «sqai dzhordzhia») was an airline from Tbilisi, Georgia, operating out of Tbilisi International Airport.[1]
History
The airline was established in 1998 as Air Bisec.[2] In 2004, it was renamed Georgian National Airlines.[2] The current Sky Georgia brand[3] was adopted in 2008,[2] when the company was acquired by US-based Sky Investment Group.[4] In October 2009, the airline ceased all scheduled flights and stated that it would concentrate on cargo rather than on passenger transport.[4] In January 2010, three Ilyushin Il-76 freighter aircraft were leased.[4]
Georgy Kodua was the general director and CEO of Sky Georgia.[5]Template:Efn
In 2007, the airline (which was called Georgian National Airlines at that time) had a codeshare agreement with airBaltic on the latter's route from Riga to Tbilisi.[6] In summer 2008, scheduled and charter services were operated from Tbilisi, Kutaisi and Batumi to destinations in Europe and Central Asia.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". On 9 August 2008, following the outbreak of the 2008 South Ossetia war, Georgian National Airlines was banned from operating into Russia. After the crisis, flights were not resumed.[6]
