Passengers transferring between international flights may pass through a transit security screening point and sometimes need to re-clear passport control depending on the airline and itinerary, as dedicated airside transit facilities are limited.

If you miss your connection, head to your airline's ticket counter or the Georgian Airways transfer desk in the main terminal, as TBS lacks extensive rebooking kiosks and staff availability can be limited outside peak hours.
