Baku – APA-Economics. Russian Ministry of Transport has denied authorization for Georgian Airlines to operate new charter flights after Airzena-Georgian Airways operated charter flight between Moscow and Tbilisi as the first direct air service between Georgia and Russia since their August 2008 war.

Russian news agency ITAR-TASS quoted the ministry as saying the resumption of regular air service between the two countries is subject to the negotiations between the two countries’ aviation authorities.

Russian-Georgian relations were tense even before the South Ossetia war. Russia cut transport and postal links and blocked money transfers in October 2006 in a dispute over Georgia’s arrest of Russian servicemen it accused of espionage. Russia also banned imports of Georgian wine and mineral water. Flights resumed in March 2008 before being halted again by the conflict.
