AFS Ground Handling is Georgia's first handling company, running full-scale ground operations at all of the country's airports. Private jets, scheduled services, freighters, medical repatriation, government and military missions — supervised by the same ops desk, around the clock.
Each category carries its own permits, security profile and documentation. Our supervisors are typed on all of them, so a mixed fleet or an unusual mission does not need a second handler.
Discreet turnarounds for owners, corporate flight departments, brokers and heads of delegation. Landside meet-and-assist, VIP terminal access, crew support and same-day slot work.
Full station handling for scheduled carriers — check-in and boarding, load control, ramp supervision and baggage services, backed by our own ticketing office.
Freighter turnarounds, technical stops and tankering support. Acceptance, documentation, dangerous goods handling and coordination with customs and the cargo terminal.
Time-critical handling for air ambulance fixed-wing and helicopter movements. Ramp-side ambulance access, stretcher and medical crew coordination, priority clearance.
Protocol handling for state visits, delegations and diplomatic movements. Coordination with protocol services, security agencies and border authorities from first notification to departure.
Transport and support aircraft, exercise deployments and humanitarian relief lifts. Overflight and landing permit support, restricted-area coordination and outsize load handling.
A single point of contact from first request to the departure message. Order the full package or only the lines you need.
Route via Tbilisi, divert to Kutaisi, position out of Batumi — same handler, same rates, same reporting.
Beyond the three international airports. We arrange handling and permits for general aviation aerodromes and helicopter operations elsewhere in Georgia on request — send the mission profile to the ops desk and we will confirm what is available at the field.
AFS Ground Handling LTD was founded in 1997 as the first handling company in Georgia, built around charter and business aviation and extended over time into cargo, humanitarian and medical flight operations.
Today we provide full-scale ground handling at every Georgian airport. That matters most on the flights nobody plans for: a technical diversion at 03:00, a delegation whose schedule moves twice before wheels-up, an AOG that needs parts, permits and a crew hotel in the same hour.
Our supervisors, load controllers, ticketing agents and flight operations officers are trained to handle aircraft of any type and complexity, and the duty desk is staffed every hour of every day of the year. Many of the world's leading operators, government delegations and private clients have trusted us with movements through Georgia — a record built one turnaround at a time since 1997.
We would rather be measured on the next flight than the last one.
