TAV IT

After undertaking successful projects in the Caucasus
and North Africa, TAV Airports Holding won the
bid for operation of Skopje and Ohrid Airports in
Macedonia. As part of this bid, the Company will
also assume construction of the Shtip Cargo Airport,
which TAV Airports retains the optional rights to
operate. Operating airports in Macedonia, a country
with strategic importance politically and economically
and expected to be admitted to the European Union
soon, represents the opening of another door for TAV
Airports Holding in Europe, after İstanbul.
TAV Airports signed a supplemental agreement with
the Turkish State Airports Authority (DHMİ) as part of
the Atatürk Airport Development Project. With this
project, the Company aims to provide relief in apron
traffic, domestic and international passenger flow and
car park capacity, and an increase in the comfort of
passengers and quality of service at Atatürk Airport,
the gateway to the İstanbul 2010 European Capital of
Culture.
Pursuant to the tender held by Türk Hava Yolları A.O.
(Turkish Airlines), TAV Airports Holding’s ground
handling company, Havas, was selected as a 50%
partner in TGS Yer Hizmetleri A.Ş. (TGS Ground
Handling), which will be providing ground handling
services to Turkish Airlines aircraft. TAV Airports
executes airport operation activities as a whole with
related service segments in an integrated structure.
TAV Airports Holding’s magic formula resides in the
organizational structure it has built. Diversity and
the continuous communication that integrates this
diversity allow the Company to make decisions quickly
and decisively.
In addition to successful activities in airport
operations, TAV Airports deems it a duty to create
value for society and invest in its future. With this
approach, the Company undertakes efforts that will
solidify its leadership in the arena of corporate social
responsibility, as well as setting an example in Turkey
and abroad.
TAV Airports Holding is not just a business enterprise.
It is also a group that has environmental awareness,
that values and supports the arts, culture and
education, and that respects human rights.
TAV Airports Holding’s management will continue to
successfully manage the Company, which has become
a global brand thanks to its knowledge capital and
service quality in airport operations, and continue to
create value for its shareholders in 2009. TAV Airports,
along with all of its employees, will continue to make
solid strides towards its goals in 2009.
