Tbilisi International Airport
Countries / Georgia / Airport / Tbilisi International Airport

Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) is more than Georgia’s busiest gateway. It is the luminous threshold where the old Silk Road meets the modern sky. Sitting just 17 km east of Georgia’s captivating capital, TBS connects the ancient heart of Tbilisi with Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, and the wider world. Its iconic arched terminal, glowing like a lantern at dusk, stands as a quiet reminder that Georgia has always been a land of crossroads, travellers, and storytellers.

Over 45 airlines operate from the airport, with nonstop or direct flights to over 25 countries.

Tbilisi Airport is a hub for Georgian Airways, the flag carrier of Georgia, as well as for MyWay Airlines and Camex.

TBS has a modern terminal shaped by motion and light. It expanded and refined over the past decade, blending transparency and movement: tall glass façades reflect the dramatic Georgian sky, while wide interior pathways guide passengers with the ease of flowing rivers.
With more than 3.5 million passengers annually, TBS balances warmth and efficiency, a harmony that feels uniquely Georgian.

The terminal is equipped:

 

  • Lounges with panoramic views of the Caucasus foothills;
  • Enhanced border-control zones with quick-flow processing;
  • Digitally upgraded baggage systems ensure smooth arrivals;
  • 30+ check-in counters designed to handle peak-season surges;
  • Improved airside bus gates, allowing multiple aircraft boarding at once;
  • A redesigned Duty-Free village featuring Georgian wine, honey, churchkhela, and artisan products.


This balance of innovation and cultural elegance makes Tbilisi Airport one of the most welcoming in the region. It is served by major global and regional carriers, creating a diverse route network ideal for both leisure and business travel.
Among them:

 

  • Georgian Airways – the national carrier
  • Wizz Air – connecting Tbilisi with Europe’s low-cost routes
  • TBS’s strongest international operators: Lufthansa, LOT, Air Arabia, Flydubai, Qatar Airways, Israir, Turkish Airlines, Pegasus, and more.


From Tbilisi, travellers can reach Frankfurt, Warsaw, Doha, Istanbul, Riyadh, Dubai, Paris-Beauvais, Milan, Vienna, and dozens of other global hubs.

Few airports in the world sit at such a powerful cultural intersection. Tbilisi is a city of sulfur baths, cobblestone alleys, carved wooden balconies, and centuries of polyphonic song — it has always been a meeting place.
From Persian caravans and Russified boulevards to avant-garde art and modern cuisine, the city thrives on blending past and present.

TBS mirrors that spirit. It feels both contemporary and ancestral, a bridge between wine valleys, ancient monasteries, electronic-music basements, and the snow-crowned Caucasus ridge.

Major plans for expansion include:

  • Smart security and biometric solutions;
  • Improved rail connection to Tbilisi city centre;
  • Runway upgrades supporting heavier, long-haul aircraft;
  • New terminal zones to accommodate rising international demand.


As Georgia’s tourism and transit role grows, TBS is positioning itself as a leading aviation hub in the Caucasus.

In Magelline’s eyes, Tbilisi International Airport is the warm, amber-lit heartbeat of the Caucasus sky, a place where the scent of qvevri wine meets the silver arc of departing wings. It is the living thread that stitches the winding streets of Old Tbilisi to tomorrow’s global routes, carrying the soul of a country that has welcomed travellers for thousands of years.

Here, flights do not merely depart; they rise above vineyards, monasteries, and mountains that shimmer like ancient guardians.

At TBS, every arrival feels like a homecoming and every departure, a promise to return.
