Norwegian has confirmed that it will introduce a direct route between Copenhagen and Tbilisi as part of its summer schedule for 2026. The airline describes the Georgian capital as a culturally rich destination with rising interest among holidaymakers. Airport representatives also highlight that Georgia offers a mix of European and Asian influences, making it an appealing addition to Copenhagen’s route map. The new service joins a wider expansion planned for the coming summer.

Alongside the connection to Tbilisi, Norwegian will also launch direct flights to Tel Aviv and Cluj. These routes form part of a broader programme that aims to widen access to destinations that have shown steady demand in previous years. Norwegian notes that interest in these regions has grown, prompting the airline to add more options for those planning summer travel from the Danish capital.

In addition to opening new routes, Norwegian will increase flight frequencies on several of its busiest Copenhagen services. The enhanced schedule will apply to destinations such as Bari, Pisa, Bordeaux, Basel, Manchester, Berlin, and Prague. Copenhagen Airport emphasises that this expanded programme strengthens Norwegian’s role as the hub’s second-largest carrier, reinforcing an already established partnership built since the airline entered the Danish market in 2008.

The new Tbilisi service also gives people easier access to a region known for dramatic landscapes, historic hilltop towns, and a food culture often compared with southern Europe. Destinations such as the vineyards around Kakheti, the old streets of Mtskheta, and the mountain passes leading towards Kazbegi become more straightforward to reach with a direct flight. The additional European routes similarly broaden options for summer trips without relying on multiple connections.

The latest updates show that Norwegian wants to make travel in 2026 more straightforward. More direct routes are being added, so organising a trip should feel less complicated. People won’t have to deal with as many long detours or awkward changes as before. The new links to Georgia, Israel, and central Europe also make these places easier to reach. Altogether, Copenhagen gains a set of routes that are clearer and more useful for the months ahead.
