Employees of Tbilisi-based Geosky airlines evacuated from Sudan return to Georgia

Twenty employees of the Georgian-based Geosky airlines, who were evacuated from the Sudanese capital amid severe clashes between military groups earlier this week, on Thursday returned to Georgia from Egypt. 

The company leadership said the 13 employees of another Tbilisi-based Myway airlines, who had also been trapped in Sudan since April 15, were expected to return on Friday. 

A relative of one of the evacuees told Front News, the individuals had been evacuated from Sudan by buses and from the Egypt-Sudan border were transferred to Aswan, an Egyptian city, where they met with the representative of the Georgian foreign office and were transported to Cairo.  

He said from Cairo they flew to Turkey, where they stayed in a hotel for a night and then returned to Tbilisi.
