Batumi International Airport serves the coastal city of Batumi in Georgia, positioned near the Black Sea at 105 ft mean sea level. As a medium-sized airport with a substantial 8,202 ft asphalt runway, it supports regional and international aviation operations. Its strategic location makes it an important transportation hub for western Georgia.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Batumi are predominantly VFR, with 86.1% of observations indicating favorable visual flight rules. Winds predominantly arrive from the southeast at an average of 11 knots, with occasional gusts up to 32 knots. Temperature ranges from 0°C to 31°C, with an average of 13.5°C, providing generally stable atmospheric conditions for flight operations.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (13/31) experiences highly favorable wind conditions, with 100% wind compatibility. Crosswinds average only 2.9 knots, indicating minimal lateral wind challenges during approach and takeoff. Its coastal location near 41.6°N latitude suggests potential maritime weather influences that pilots should monitor.

Approach Considerations

September through November represent the most consistent VFR months for arrivals and departures. Runway 13/31's orientation and length provide flexibility for most aircraft types. Pilots should anticipate southeastern wind patterns and prepare for potential maritime weather transitions, particularly during seasonal changes.
