|---|---|---|---|---|
| David the Builder Kutaisi International Airport | KUT | 20 km (12 mi) | 8,202 ft | 223 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,202 ft, KUT handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 223 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
