What is CIP service at Tbilisi airport?
CIP stands for Commercially Important Person. At Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) it is a paid service that takes you through arrival or departure separately from the main passenger flow. For travellers on a long flight, a business schedule or a late landing, it removes most of the waiting.
What CIP service usually includes
- Personal meeting at the aircraft or the gate by an airport representative.
- Fast-track passport control and security, handled with priority.
- A private lounge where you can wait while formalities and luggage are taken care of.
- Luggage assistance from the belt to your car.
- Escort to your vehicle, so you step from the lounge straight into the transfer.
The exact package and price are set by the airport, so we confirm availability and details for your flight at the time of booking.
Is CIP worth it?
It makes the most sense when you arrive with family and lots of luggage, when you land at night and want to reach the hotel quickly, or when you have a meeting soon after landing. For short city breaks with hand luggage, the standard meet-and-greet transfer is often enough: your chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign and tracks your flight.
CIP plus a private transfer
When you book CIP through us, the chauffeur waits at the CIP exit instead of the public hall. The car is ready, the luggage goes straight in and you are on your way to the hotel. The drive from the airport to central Tbilisi takes about 25–30 minutes outside rush hour.
Landing late? Read our guide on arriving in Tbilisi at night. Not sure which car to choose? See sedan or minivan.
