| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alexander Kartveli Batumi International Airport | BUS | 4 km (2 mi) | 8,202 ft | 105 ft |
| David the Builder Kutaisi International Airport | KUT | 93 km (58 mi) | 8,202 ft | 223 ft |
| Rize–Artvin Airport (regional) | RZV | 83 km (52 mi) | 9,843 ft | 16 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,202 ft, BUS handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 105 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
