A flight over the resort you came to ski anyway. Pine slopes, the gentler air of the Lesser Caucasus — and a completely different angle on runs you already know.
The launch sits at 2,155 metres on the slopes of the Trialeti range; the village is at 1,683. That is about 470 metres of vertical: a shorter flight than Gudauri, but a soft and predictable launch.
Below you are the pine forests Bakuriani is known for, the ski runs, and the resort itself. In winter all of it is under snow — and this is one of those places where the winter picture beats the summer one.
Three packages, priced the same all year.
| Package | Airtime | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Standard FlightA calm flight over the resort and its wooded slopes. | 10–12 min | on request |
| Extreme FlightSame airtime, with manoeuvres. | 10–12 min | on request |
| Extended FlightMaximum airtime over the Trialeti range. | 15–25 min | on request |
These prices run all year — there is no summer/winter split here.
180 kilometres from Tbilisi — about two and a half hours. The road runs through Borjomi, then climbs in switchbacks.
This page is about tandem flying: as a passenger, with no experience and no kit of your own. If you have your own wing and came for the routes, you want a different section — XC trips across Georgia.
In Gudauri a cable car takes you to launch, and it sits right by the village. That does not work here: the launches are a long way from any settlement, and you get there in our 4x4s — or on foot with an instructor. That is included; there is no separate line for the drive up.
We arrange the flying permit for the zone as well, and that is in the package too. You cannot simply turn up with your own wing and fly in Georgia — but a tandem passenger never has to think about it.
We fly to the forecast, not to a timetable. We confirm the flying zone the day before, once the forecast is in.
Getting to where the air is working today is always easier than waiting for the weather to arrive where it is not. And we tell you in advance, not at the launch.
We do not guarantee the flight at this exact location: we choose the site by the weather and confirm it 24 hours before. About 95 % of flyable days are in Gudauri. Transfer is not included; you can come by your own or a rental car.
Gudauri has a unique microclimate, which is why most flights take place there; we can arrange a transfer, or you can come on your own.
A 95 GEL / €35 deposit per person confirms the booking and is part of the flight price, not an addition to it. The balance is paid on site, cash or card. Price on request — our manager confirms availability and price for your date. All payments are in Georgian lari.
The go/no-go call is made by the senior instructor. It is final and it is made on safety grounds only — not on the schedule and not on demand.
The refund goes back by the same method you paid with, which is why the bank transfer fee is deducted. Processing takes 5–10 working days. A free reschedule is offered in this case only: when the weather will not let the flight happen.
We say this plainly because it is fairer both ways. Once the drive is paid for, a pilot has no reason to "give it a go anyway" in doubtful air. And that reason is exactly where the bad stories in our sport come from.
Full terms are in our refund policy. The service is provided by Sole Entrepreneur Serhii Mykhailiuta (Georgia), registration number 329338355. For booking, payment and rescheduling: +995 551 355 000, skyatlantidabooking@gmail.com. We reply in about 30 minutes, 09:00–21:00 GMT+4. The meeting point and time are sent once the booking is confirmed.
2,155 metres above sea level. The village sits at 1,683 m, so the vertical is about 470 metres.
Yes — winter is the peak season here: the resort is running, the slopes are under snow, and the picture is at its best.
Yes, there is less vertical here. In exchange the launch is softer and more predictable — a good choice for a first flight.
180 km and about 2.5 hours through Borjomi. Budget 8–9 hours for the whole day.
The launch is far from the village and there is no cable car to it — you get up by 4x4 or on foot with an instructor. That is already inside the price.
Up to 80 kg with no surcharge, then a sliding scale up to 125 kg. Over 125 kg we cannot fly. Children fly accompanied by a parent.
Send us the date and where you are staying — if you are already at the resort the flight takes a couple of hours. From Tbilisi we will price the transfer.
