In 2025, 302,416 transit flights were operated over the territory of Georgia, or an average of 828 flights daily. This is 2.3% more than a year earlier, when the figure stood at 295,527 flights. At the same time, traffic intensity at the country’s airports increased: the number of takeoffs and landings reached 73,357 compared to 64,731 in 2024, representing an increase of 13.3%. In 2026, transit traffic presumably continued to grow amid the closure of Iranian airspace to transit flights.
Despite the increased workload, the revenue of the company Sakaeronavigatsia for 2025 decreased by 5.1% to 162.8 million lari. Revenue from en-route air navigation services for transit aircraft fell by 24.7%, amounting to 91 million lari. Although the number of paid transit flights increased from 295,136 to 301,960, the service tariff dropped by 22.9%. As a result, the average revenue per aircraft fell from 409 to 301 lari. The reasons for the tariff revision are not disclosed in the financial statements.
At the same time, terminal services associated with takeoffs and landings brought the company 71.2 million lari—42.2% more than a year earlier. This was supported by a 21.7% increase in the number of corresponding flights and a tariff increase from 1,457 to 1,489 lari. Thus, the growth in revenues from aircraft handling at airports was unable to offset the decline in proceeds from transit air navigation.
