In response to the growing passenger traffic, TAV Georgia, the management company of Tbilisi and Batumi International Airports, is actively advancing infrastructure development to maintain the provision of high-quality services. Notably, the immigration zone at the arrival terminal of Tbilisi International Airport has been expanded, and additional passport control booths have been installed.

 

Specifically, the number of passport control booths has increased from 9 to 13, while the area leading to the border booths has been enlarged from 640 to 925 m². Additionally, in the departure terminal, the immigration zone has been extended from 180 to 530 m², and the number of passport control booths has also risen from 9 to 13. A fast-track corridor has been introduced to facilitate access to the border booths.

 

TAV Georgia has invested over 4 million GEL in these infrastructural enhancements.

 

In 2024, passenger traffic at Tbilisi International Airport reached an unprecedented peak, with the airport serving a total of 4,750,830 passengers. This represents a 29% increase in passenger traffic compared to 2023. The expanded facilities and additional booths will enable the airport to enhance border processing capacity and significantly improve the quality of passenger services.

 

TAV Georgia is a subsidiary of TAV Airports Holding and a member of the French ADP Group. The company began its operations in Georgia in 2005 and has since invested over 220 million USD in the construction and development of Tbilisi and Batumi airports. Through TAV Airports Holding's substantial investments across multiple countries, combined with its extensive experience in airport operations and effective management, TAV Georgia has emerged as one of the most trusted, stable, and dynamic companies in Georgia, as well as the largest employer in the country's aviation sector.
