Short answer

Georgia has three international airports: Tbilisi Shota Rustaveli, Kutaisi David the Builder and Batumi Alexander Kartveli. There are also small airports for domestic flights, such as Mestia in Svaneti and Ambrolauri in Racha. Tbilisi handles the most international flights, while low-cost airlines often fly to Kutaisi.

Why

  1. The Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi and Mestia airports are run by the state company United Airports of Georgia.
  2. Kutaisi has become a base for European low-cost airlines.
  3. Batumi airport is a few kilometres from the city, on the road towards the Turkish border.

Details

Bus 337 runs from Tbilisi airport into the city, shuttle buses link Kutaisi airport with Tbilisi and Batumi, and Batumi airport is connected to the city by bus and taxi. Flights to Mestia and Ambrolauri depend on the weather.

Tip

Compare fares to all three airports: Kutaisi is often cheaper and well connected to both Tbilisi and Batumi.

What may differ

Routes change with the seasons: there are more flights to Batumi in summer, and some are cancelled in winter.

Common misconception

Kutaisi Airport is in the city itself.

What actually happens

The airport is 20 kilometres from central Kutaisi, a 20-30 minute ride.
