Representatives of TAV Georgia, the company responsible for managing Batumi International Airport, presented the airport’s expansion plans to Mariam Kvrivishvili, the Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia.
According to the Ministry of Economy’s press service, the working meeting was attended by Mariam Kvrivishvili, alongside Deputy Minister Tamar Ioseliani, as well as officials from the Civil Aviation Agency, the Airports Association, and Sakaieronavigation. The discussion focused in detail on the requirements for expanding Batumi International Airport, driven by the significant increase in passenger traffic.
“Based on the conceptual vision outlined by the company during the meeting, plans include expanding the existing terminal as well as constructing a new one. The project also encompasses enhancements to other key infrastructure components of the airport,” the Ministry explained.
The parties agreed to continue active work on the airport’s expansion. It was highlighted that 2025 marked an unprecedented year for Batumi International Airport, with the annual passenger count reaching a record 1,230,200, a 29% increase compared to 2024, the highest figure in the airport’s history.
Furthermore, the participants noted that the historic Eagle Hills project, set to be realised in the Adjara region, will revitalise Batumi Airport. The development aims to establish a new hub for the growth of Adjara as a four-season tourist destination. This, in turn, is expected to impact Batumi International Airport’s operations, boosting flight numbers and passenger traffic, the Ministry stated.
