ARDI, one of Georgia’s leading insurance companies, has partnered with LXM Media & Publishing, to launch a new travel insurance campaign, making travel insurance more accessible and convenient for both inbound and outbound travelers of Wizz Air.

The campaign is particularly relevant following the introduction of mandatory health insurance for all foreign visitors entering Georgia from 1 January 2026.

Through this collaboration ARDI will promote its travel insurance offers across Wizz Air’s passenger touchpoints. As part of the campaign, Wizz Air passengers will be able to access exclusive offers on ARDI travel insurance after receiving their electronic flight tickets. The offer will be available to both Georgian citizens travelling to Europe and international visitors arriving in Georgia on Wizz Air flights.

The collaboration represents another important step in ARDI’s efforts to expand awareness of its travel insurance products while providing travelers with a convenient way to access insurance before their journey through Wizz Air’s digital channels, managed exclusively by LXM Media & Publishing.

“A journey doesn’t end with the purchase of a ticket – it begins. Our goal is for people to start their travels with peace of mind, knowing they have access to reliable travel insurance whenever they need it,” says Teona Goderidze, Business Development Director at ARDI.

Through this campaign, Wizz Air passengers can benefit from exclusive discounts on ARDI’s International Travel Insurance and Welcomer, Georgia’s mandatory inbound travel insurance, via a dedicated online platform created specifically for this campaign.

Since 2010, ARDI has been operating in the Georgian insurance market, offering a full range of health, motor, property, and travel insurance products. At ARDI, we believe that the true purpose of insurance is not to limit people, but to empower them to live more freely – giving them the confidence to travel, discover, create, and embrace life. This philosophy is reflected in the company’s core brand idea: ‘Time to Live.’

On June 5–7, JSL Logistics participated in WinExpo Georgia 2026, one of the country’s leading wine industry exhibitions, bringing together Georgian wineries, family cellars, exporters and industry professionals. This year, more than 100 Georgian wine producers took part in the event, once again highlighting the growing potential of Georgian wine in international markets.

For JSL Logistics, participation in the exhibition was an important opportunity to engage with representatives of Georgia’s wine sector and discuss both the challenges and opportunities associated with wine exports. Our goal is to support the international growth of Georgian wine by providing reliable logistics solutions that help producers deliver their products safely and efficiently to markets around the world.

Interest in Georgian wine continues to grow across global markets, particularly in the United States, Europe and China. However, success in international trade requires more than producing a high-quality product. Every bottle exported abroad depends on a carefully planned and professionally managed logistics process.

Wine is a highly sensitive product and its quality can be affected by transportation conditions, route planning and handling throughout the supply chain. That is why it is essential for every bottle to reach the end consumer in the same condition in which it was originally bottled. At JSL Logistics, we believe that preserving the quality of Georgian wine does not end in the vineyard or the cellar it continues throughout the entire transportation process until the product reaches its final destination.

During the exhibition, our team met with numerous Georgian winemakers, winery representatives and exporters. Discussions focused on the export potential of Georgian wine, the requirements of international markets, transportation challenges and the logistics solutions that help producers expand their presence globally.

JSL Logistics provides a full range of international transportation services for wine producers and exporters, including air freight, sea freight, road transportation and multimodal logistics solutions. By tailoring each logistics strategy to the specific needs of a shipment, we help businesses balance transit time, cost efficiency and cargo safety factors that are particularly important in the highly competitive wine industry.

WinExpo Georgia 2026 served as another valuable platform for building new partnerships, exchanging expertise and discussing the opportunities and challenges facing the Georgian wine industry. The international success of Georgian wine is built on the efforts of many stakeholders from growers and winemakers to exporters and distributors. The role of a logistics partner is to ensure that products move safely, efficiently and reliably across international markets.

Every new market represents a new opportunity, and behind every exported bottle stands a well-planned and reliable logistics process. 🍷✈️
