We operate across 27 countries, and our most substantial and rapid expansion is emerging right here in Georgia. We are immensely proud of this partnership. Franck Mereyde, Chairman of the Executive Board & Executive of the Board of Directors at TAV Airports Groupe ADP, said at the launch ceremony for the Tbilisi International Airport expansion project.
"I am incredibly proud to be here today. We place immense faith in Georgia`s growth potential. We share the same strategy and vision for the country’s development. Georgia is expanding at an exceptionally efficient and rapid pace. We have no intention of letting any opportunity pass us by, which is precisely why we are here. This stands as a powerful symbol of our collaboration.
I remember March 2021, when we were working on the development of Batumi International Airport; despite the pandemic, and at a time when investing seemed utter madness, we still succeeded in unlocking that potential.
Now, we are poised to begin this major expansion and development phase in Tbilisi. What occurred last month was unprecedented on a global scale. Despite widespread challenges, we observed that while other companies preferred to wait and see how the aviation industry would recover, we pushed ahead with the expansion of Tbilisi International Airport.
Looking at the data, the June figures reflect remarkably rapid growth, showing a 40% surge. Highly significant steps are being taken to overcome these challenges and seize these opportunities. That is why we are here, and we are proud of this partnership", - said Franck Mereyde.
