The ground-ground communications are carried out by MOTOROLA radio stations. The navigation tower is also equipped with new automatic digital telephone station and it fully meets the modern requirements of “SAKAERONAVIGATSIA” Ltd. This station provides backup communication lines of the air traffic controllers with the neighbor countries, ensuring (continuous, high quality, speedy) communication in accordance with the ICAO norms. “SAKAERONAVIGATSIA” Ltd. also installed modern runway lighting systems in Batumi. These lighting systems and additional equipment were purchased by “SAKAERONAVIGATSIA” Ltd. from Czech Company “AFL IMPEX”, the company producing and supplying many countries of the world with runway and other navigation technologies. The pivotal lights, produced by Italian Company “O.C.E.M.”, were installed here as well.
