Connecting Georgia to the world with national pride.

Headquarters

Tbilisi, Georgia

Georgian National Airlines, operating under the IATA code QB and ICAO code GFG with the callsign NATIONAL, was a Georgian carrier based in Tbilisi, Georgia. The airline operated scheduled and charter passenger services, primarily connecting Georgia with destinations across Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States. The airline faced significant operational and financial challenges common to smaller post-Soviet carriers attempting to compete in a liberalizing aviation market. It is no longer believed to be actively operating, having ceased services at some point following difficulties sustaining its route network and fleet. Georgian National Airlines represented one of several attempts by Georgia to establish a viable national carrier in the years following independence from the Soviet Union, a period that saw numerous carriers emerge and subsequently fail across the region.

Hubs & network

The airline's primary hub was Tbilisi International Airport (now Shota Rustaveli Tbilisi International Airport) in Tbilisi, Georgia.

Fleet

Georgian National Airlines operated Soviet-era and Western aircraft types typical of regional post-Soviet carriers, including jets suitable for short to medium-haul routes.
