The Director of the United Airports of Georgia Tamar Archuadze said the airport had “completely overcome” the pandemic challenges and in the first five months of 2022 surpassed the indicator of the same period of 2019, both in terms of passenger flow and the number of flights. 

We have even more positive expectations for the summer navigation season. We expect increased frequencies and new directions, which, in turn, will help increase the flow of passengers at the airport," Archuadze said.
