Sukhumi-Dranda Airport serves as a gateway to Georgia’s Black Sea coast. Located near the city of Sukhumi in Abkhazia, this small airport handles domestic flights and some international charters during peak seasons. The terminal is compact with basic facilities including ticket counters, baggage claim and seating areas. Runway length supports regional aircraft types. Located at 40 meters above sea level, the site offers views of mountainous terrain meeting the coastline. Operations remain limited due to seasonal demand and geopolitical context shaping travel patterns in the region.
