TL;DR
Yes, some flights from Hurghada may make a technical refueling stop in Tbilisi. Travelers report that this does not always add much travel time, but in rare cases checked baggage can arrive separately and must be collected later.
What the community said
In the most recent report, the return flight included a refueling stop in Tbilisi, yet the total travel time ended up shorter than on another flight without a fuel stop. A technical landing does not automatically mean a major delay.

One traveler said the airline effectively had two options during an irregular operation: refuel in Tbilisi or send the checked baggage separately. In their case, the bags were left for later transport, so this is a possible scenario on disrupted flights.

Another message described missing baggage as a rare case, but the traveler still had to make a roughly 200 km trip to collect it. Practical takeaway: if your bag does not arrive, confirm the exact pickup location and distance immediately.
