Georgia and Russia resume air links
A GEORGIAN passenger plane landed in Russia yesterday, in the first direct air service between the two countries since their war in 2008.
Moscow's decision to allow the flight appeared to indicate that tensions between the two states may be easing.
Georgia Airways said Russia had given permission for three charter flights to Moscow over the next few days.
