Short answer

A direct flight from Moscow to Tbilisi takes about 3 hours, and roughly the same to Batumi or Kutaisi. From St Petersburg it is about 4 hours, from Sochi about an hour and from Minsk about 3 hours. Direct flights between Russia and Georgia are operated by Georgian Airways and Russian airlines authorised by the Georgian authorities.

Why

  1. Direct flights between Russia and Georgia resumed in May 2023.
  2. Georgia only admits Russian carriers and aircraft that are not under sanctions.
  3. Flight time depends on routings around closed airspace and on the wind.

Details

Without a direct flight you can connect in Istanbul, Yerevan or Minsk, which takes 5-6 hours or more. Schedules and carriers change by season.
