Taxis

As the airport is not yet fully operational for regular commercial passenger flights, there are no formal taxi ranks. Upon its reopening, expect local taxis to be the primary option. It is highly recommended to pre-arrange a transfer through your hotel or a local contact. Always agree on the fare with the driver before starting your journey, as meters are not typically used. Ride-sharing apps like Uber or Yandex.Go do not operate in the region.

Rental Cars

There are no international car rental company desks (e.g., Hertz, Avis) at the airport. A few local car rental companies operate in Sukhumi and other towns. To rent a car, you must make arrangements in advance. Once the airport is operational, these local companies may offer airport pickup and drop-off services by prior arrangement.

Public Transportation

There is no dedicated airport bus, shuttle, or train service connecting the airport to Sukhumi or other destinations. The local public transport system consists of marshrutkas (shared minibuses). While the main coastal highway runs near the airport, flagging down a passing marshrutka is not a reliable or convenient option for travelers with luggage. A pre-booked taxi or transfer is the most practical choice.
