“The development of Kutaisi International Airport began 14 years ago, and today, based on passenger traffic, it stands as Georgia’s second-largest airport,” stated Levan Moseshvili, Director General of the United Airports of Georgia (UAG).

According to Moseshvili, Kutaisi Airport has transformed over the past 14 years, adding a new passenger terminal, expanding infrastructure, and enhancing services. Speaking about the airport’s success, he highlighted the dynamic growth in passenger traffic and noted that intensive work is underway to add new routes.

“When Kutaisi Airport opened 14 years ago, we handled approximately 12,800 passengers in its first year. By 2025, that figure had risen to 1.8 million passengers. Currently, flights from Kutaisi International Airport operate to 32 destinations across 16 countries, 25 of which are European routes. We are continually working to enter new markets and launch additional routes. We want to assist our passengers, residents, and tourists in having direct connectivity to various European destinations. Our goal is to connect major countries, cities, and capitals around the world with Kutaisi International Airport,” stated the Director General of the United Airports of Georgia.

Levan Moseshvili also noted that it has been 10 years since the airport’s primary partner, Wizz Air, established its base in Kutaisi. The Director General of the United Airports of Georgia congratulated the Hungarian airline and wished it continued success.

Georgia and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) have signed a loan agreement under the Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor – Georgia Connectivity and Transport Improvement Project, allocating approximately EUR 158.5 million to Georgia, the Ministry of Finance has announced.

According to the Ministry, Georgia’s Minister of Finance, Lasha Khutsishvili, and Konstantin Limitovskiy, Senior Investment Officer (Public Sector, Global Projects, and Corporate Finance) at the AIIB, signed the agreement.

The project aims to construct four-lane highway sections stretching from Badiouri to Chalaubani (Lot 4 – 21.7 km) and from Chalaubani to Bakurtsikhe (Lot 5 – 9.1 km) along the Kakheti highway, as well as a road section connecting Gurjaani to Telavi (36.6 km).

The total cost of the road infrastructure project in the Kakheti direction stands at EUR 316.8 million. As part of the broader framework, the World Bank has already approved and allocated EUR 158 million to Georgia.

These investments in the road network mark another major step towards enhancing the efficiency of the Middle Corridor. The upgrades are also expected to bolster the productivity and resilience of Georgia’s transport infrastructure, supporting the country’s long-term economic growth.

According to the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Regional Development and Infrastructure will serve as the executing agency for the project, while the Roads Department will manage physical implementation.
