A new international airport will be built in Tbilisi

A new airport will appear in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, because the existing one cannot cope with the flow of passengers. This was stated by Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Kobakhidze.

"The capacity of the current airport is approximately 4-4.5 million passengers. You know that we have a very positive trend in the tourism sector. Travelers are expected to grow rapidly and consistently in the future. The infrastructure should also keep up with the times," Kobakhidze said.

The airport will be built in Vaziani on the outskirts of Tbilisi, with a capacity of 19 million passengers per year with the prospect of further growth. The cost of the project is 1.26 billion dollars.
