The ruling party and the government of Georgia favored the restoration of air traffic with Russia. At the same time, President Salome Zurabishvili called for a boycott of Georgian Airways.

Ambassador of the European Union to Georgia Pavel Gerchinsky gave the Georgian Deputy Prime Minister, Head of the Ministry of Economy Levan Davitashvili, a demarche regarding the resumption of direct flights between Tbilisi and Moscow.
