About Tbilisi International Airport

Overview

Tbilisi International Airport serves as Georgia's primary international aviation gateway, located in the capital city at an elevation of 1,624 feet above mean sea level. The airport features two substantial runways: a 8,202-foot asphalted runway (13L/31R) and a 9,843-foot concrete runway (13R/31L), enabling operations for a wide range of aircraft types and sizes.

Flying Conditions

Positioned at 41.669201°N, 44.9547°E, the airport experiences diverse meteorological conditions typical of Georgia's continental climate. Pilots should anticipate potential significant variations in temperature and wind patterns throughout the year, with the airport's relatively high elevation potentially influencing aircraft performance and approach characteristics.

Notable Features

Tbilisi International Airport is situated in a complex geographic region, surrounded by mountainous terrain that can create challenging wind and visibility conditions. The dual-runway configuration provides operational flexibility, allowing air traffic controllers to optimize approaches based on prevailing wind directions and current meteorological conditions.

Approach Considerations

The parallel runway system (13L/31R and 13R/31L) suggests a primary approach axis of approximately 130/310 degrees. With significant runway lengths of 8,202 and 9,843 feet, the airport can accommodate both narrow and wide-body aircraft, offering substantial landing and takeoff performance margins across different aircraft categories.
