Georgia: fast-growing Eastern European aviation market hits record passengers in 2024

Georgia's airports handled more passengers in 2024 than at any time in their history.

The former Soviet republic's aviation market is small (7.4 million passengers last year 2024), but is growing rapidly (growth of 24% year-on-year).

It has enjoyed a faster recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic than Eastern/Central Europe as a whole.

The government of Georgia has been active in seeking new airline services, attracting 13 new routes and three new airlines in 2024: the entry last year of Austrian Airlines, Transavia and Air China is due to be followed in summer 2025 by the entry of British Airways, easyJet, Transavia France and Edelweiss Air. The government is also seeking more direct services to/from China.

Wizz Air is the biggest airline by seats and passengers in Georgia, where low cost airline seat share has grown over the past 15 years.

However, LCC share has plateaued, and even fallen slightly, in the past two years.

Georgia's airports hit a record 7.4 million passengers in 2024, with rapid growth and new airline entries, outpacing Europe's pandemic recovery.

Turkey Battles Tourism Decline While Georgia Rises as a Global Favorite with Affordable Luxury and Modern Upgrades

Turkey’s tourism declines with rising costs, while Georgia thrives as a top destination, attracting travelers with affordability and modern infrastructure.

Turkey has faced a notable decline in tourism over recent years, with visitors voicing concerns about skyrocketing prices. Meanwhile, a neighboring country, Georgia, has been gaining traction as an emerging tourist hotspot, sparking conversations about its growing popularity.

Georgia, bordered by Russia and Azerbaijan, has implemented various strategies to attract visitors. These include enhancing public transport, upgrading cruise ports, and improving international signage. This proactive approach comes as Turkey, once known for its affordability, grapples with the impact of rising costs on its tourism industry.

Online discussions on platforms like Reddit have highlighted Georgia’s appeal, with travelers praising it as a top-tier destination. One tourist shared their recent family trip experience in Tbilisi, offering advice on safety, travel, and local attractions. The post quickly gained traction, with many commenters expressing their admiration for the country, calling it a must-visit destination.

Is Georgia Tourism Industry at Stake Amid Political Unrest?

Georgia, the picturesque South Caucasus country known for its breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and thriving tourism industry, is currently experiencing a turbulent period of political unrest. Over the past week, growing protests have rocked the capital, Tbilisi, and spread to various cities across the nation, creating shockwaves throughout the region and raising concerns about Georgia’s future as a European ally. The protests, which erupted following the government’s controversial decision to delay its bid to join the European Union, have sparked an intense confrontation between pro-European demonstrators and the ruling Georgian Dream party.
