International Consortium to Reconstruct Tbilisi Airport

A consortium of three companies – the Turkish ?elebi Group, Luxembourg-based Gestion en Technique Sp?ciale (GTS) and U.S. A&J -will invest USD 62 million to reconstruct the Tbilisi airport within the next 12 months, Georgian Economy Minister Lexo Alexishvili said at a news conference on May 16.

Alexishvili said that after this scheduled reconstruction, the Tbilisi airport will be able to serve Airbus 330/340 sized aircrafts and handle a turnover of 2000 passengers an hour.

After the reconstruction, the consortium will jointly manage the airport for the next ten and a half years.
