Does an unaccompanied minor need parental consent to cross the border into Georgia?

TL;DR
Yes — airlines require parental consent to transport the child and hand them over to a designated adult; some carriers (e.g. Red Wings) treat passengers 12+ as adults, so no extra questions at the border.
What the community said
Red Wings airline confirmed that passengers aged 12+ are treated as adults, so no escort or extra border checks are needed.
today Red Wings, age 12+
Airlines need the parental consent to accept responsibility for transporting the child and handing them over to a trusted adult at the destination — this differs from actual border authority requirements.

Since requirements vary widely by source, parents are advised to confirm directly with their specific airline whether consent from one or both parents is needed, whether trip dates and destination country must be specified, and whether an English translation is required.
