Location: Kutaisi, Georgia
UNStudio has been invited to design the new extension for Georgia’s Kutaisi International Airport
Just four and a half years after its official opening (September 2012), the UNStudio designed Kutaisi International Airport has grown rapidly from 12,915 passengers per year to more than 300,000 in 2016. Predictions for the low-cost airliner airport are such that it is expected to reach a capacity of close to 1,000,000 passengers by 2020. In order to facilitate this predicted growth UNStudio has now been invited to design a large extension to the existing terminal.

Visitors are entering this fascinating and hospitable country from all directions and United Airports of Georgia wants to make sure that they are serviced in the most efficient way – but also with a local touch.
