Terminal navigation guide

Terminal-change and gate-area notes pulled from the markdown guide.

From Terminals & Navigation

Treat it as one passenger terminal. “International terminal” on the lounge page is the departure side of that building, not a second airline terminal.

The information desk is in the centre of the terminal and is published as 24 hours.

Lost and found and the lost-luggage office are in the arrival hall, with lost and found next to baggage claim.

Transfer passengers are told to find the airline or check-in agent, then wait in the departures hall. No minimum connection time is published.

The contact page prints coordinates 41°36′32″N 41°36′22″E and “2 km” from the centre. The AIP reference point is 41°36′37″N 41°35′58″E and “5 km southwest.” Use the AIP pin.

A straight line from the AIP pin to this site’s Batumi centre point is about 3.2 km. That is a third published distance, not a drive time.

Airline approaches use runway 12, the only end with an ILS and approach lights. Runway 30 is the end without approach lights.

The AIP limits takeoff from runway 12 and landing on runway 30 to daytime visual rules, aeroplanes at or below 5,700 kg, and helicopters. That is a light-aircraft rule, not an airline gate change.

Ground transport guide

City-transfer, rideshare, train, and parking guidance from the markdown guide.

From Ground Transport & Parking

Bus 10 is the municipal Airport–Batumi Centre route. The stop is in front of the terminal, and the airport says the ride is about 20 minutes.
That same bus page still prints 0.30 GEL. Batumelebi, on 3 February 2026, reported the city council decision that from 4 February 2026 the municipal bus and minibus fare is 0.70 GEL, up from 0.30 GEL.
Batumi Autotransport, quoted in that report, still carries teachers, pupils, students, pensioners, and several other local categories free. A visitor paying a normal fare should expect 0.70 GEL.
Taxis are at the terminal exit. The published drive is about 10–15 minutes to the centre. There is no official city fare on the airport page.
The transport pages list bus and taxi only. They do not publish an airport railway station.
The car park on the parking page holds 160 cars. The printed bands are 5 GEL for 0–3 hours, 10 GEL for 3–6, 15 GEL for 6–12, and 20 GEL for 12–24. No free-minute period is printed.
The AIP says the airport is 5 km southwest of Batumi. The contact page says 2 km and an E70 approach. Both are on official pages; the AIP distance is the aerodrome figure.
Phones on the contact page match the AIP: +995 422 235 100, +995 422 235 102, and +995 422 235 103.
