The founder of Georgia’s national airline Georgian Airways has banned the country’s President from using its services after she said she would boycott the airline over its resumption of flights to Russia, Russia’s TASS news agency reported on Sunday.
Russia announced this month it was lifting a four year ban on direct flights with Georgia and removing a decades-old visa requirement for Georgians travelling to Russia.
President Salome Zourabichvili urged Georgian authorities to thwart the Russian initiative, an appeal they ignored.
