Airports of Georgia
The Georgian Military Road cannot be compared in beauty with any other in the world, but aviation, nevertheless, is a more modern and convenient way of transportation. That is why Georgian airports are so popular with Russian travelers - in less than three hours you can move from Moscow to Tbilisi or Kutaisi on S7 wings or to Batumi on Georgian Airways.
International airports of Georgia
In addition to the capital, two other Georgian airports have international status:
- The international airport of the country's main Black Sea resort is located 2 km south of Batumi. After major overhaul and reconstruction in 2007, this air harbor receives up to 150 thousand passengers annually.
- Kutaisi Airport is named after David the Builder and is located 14 km west of the city. It opened in 2012 and, in addition to flights from the CIS countries, accepts the board of the Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air.
Transfer from the airports of Georgia is possible by public transport or taxi, which is convenient and inexpensive in the republic..
Metropolitan direction
The airport in the capital of Georgia is named after Shota Rustaveli and is located 17 km southeast of Tbilisi. The new terminal was commissioned in 2007, after which the air port acquired a modern look and functional design. The airport's capacity has also increased dramatically and today it serves up to 1.5 million passengers annually..
Their services in the terminal include duty-free shops and restaurants, VIP lounges and currency exchange offices, a post office, wireless internet and a mother and child room..
Airport transfers are provided by taxis, passenger buses and commuter trains. The railway station is located next to the arrivals area, but only six trains run to the city per day. Buses run about once every half an hour and take passengers to the center of Tbilisi. Those wishing to rent a car can do it in one of the offices in the arrivals hall.
You can get to Tbilisi on the wings of many airlines:
- Aegean Airlines flies from Greece.
- Passengers from the countries of the former Union are brought by Belavia, Air Astana, Azerbaijan Airlines, Ukraine International Airlines and Dniproavia.
- Air Cairo connects Tbilisi with Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh.
- China Southern Airlines has regular flights to Chinese Urumqi.
- Flydubai flies from the UAE.
- LOT Polish Airlines brings passengers from Warsaw to admire Georgian beauty.
To the beaches of the Black Sea
The Georgian airport in Batumi receives Russian tourists arriving on vacation from Moscow Domodedovo on the wings of Ural Airlines and S7 Airlines. Georgian Airlines flies from here to the capital of Russia at Vnukovo.
You can get from the airport to the selected hotel by taxi or bus, especially since the distance to the center of Batumi does not exceed a couple of kilometers.
