The Georgian Civil Aviation Agency has appealed to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) with a request to ban Russian airlines from operating flights to Sukhumi airport in Abkhazia.
Tbilisi believes that flights to Abkhazia "violate the principles of the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation."
Tbilisi is outraged that Sukhumi Airport does not have an airworthiness certificate issued by the Georgian aviation authorities.
Restored 30 years later, Sukhumi Airport will start accepting regular flights from Russia in May.
On March 14, the Russian Foreign Ministry canceled the recommendation to refrain from traveling to Abkhazia.
