The provider is counting on the convenient location of the base to bring in more customers. “The strong presence in airports of Georgia,” says the company’s head of line maintenance at FL Technics, Karolis Statkus, “puts us in a great position to serve FL Technics’ most important clients from neighboring countries as well as the Middle Eastern carriers, which are showing increasing interest in the country for connecting routes.”
