How to get from Karaganda to Tbilisi: your flight options

There are no non-stop flights from Karaganda to Tbilisi: Sary-Arka Airport serves only a few destinations and Tbilisi is not one of them.

The main routing is via Almaty: FlyArystan carries passengers from Karaganda to Almaty, and Air Astana flies onward to Tbilisi. In season a second option opens up via Aktau, which SCAT serves from Karaganda and from where the same airline flies to Tbilisi. Sometimes it is more convenient to depart from Astana: travellers reach it overland, about 200 km, since the two cities have no air link.

The Almaty connection is available all year and normally offers more departures, while the Aktau option depends on the seasonal timetable and can be shorter overall. As this is an international route, check whether you need a transit visa if your connection is outside Kazakhstan.
