Taxi, city bus and travel time.

Short answer

Batumi Airport is just a few kilometres south of the centre; a taxi takes 10-15 minutes and usually costs 15-20 GEL by app. The city bus from the airport to the centre is cheaper, paid with a transport or bank card. If you land at night, a taxi or hotel transfer is easier.
