TAV IT

Decisive strides on the way from local to global
Consistent with growth strategies in its target markets,
TAV Airports has established strategic partnerships
with US-based Goldman Sachs International, Australiabased
Babcock&Brown, Islamic Development Bank (IDB),
Infrastructure Fund (EMP), Global Investment House
KSCC and Global Opportunistic II Fund of the Global
Group, one of Kuwait’s largest investment companies,
through share sales of its founding partners. These
strategic partnerships are significant steps taken
towards achieving the Company’s targets.
Drawing attention of the world’s most important
investment companies with its projects since the day it
was established, TAV Airports deemed it a duty to share
the fruits of its success with the country and took a
courageous step in this direction by offering a portion of
its shares to the public in February 2007.
TAV Airports continues to attract interest from
investors thanks to its professional, high-quality and
people-oriented projects. Consequently, Meinl Airports
International, the Austria-based leading airport
investor in Central and Eastern Europe, acquired 10.1%
of TAV Airports Holding shares from the international
investment bank Goldman Sachs.
Marching on with the determination of becoming an
international force in one of the world’s most important
and difficult sectors and with the passion of its founders
and employees, TAV Airports is continuously expending
its efforts to accomplish these goals. TAV Airports is
moving forward with decisive steps towards becoming a
global company that utilizes its human resources in the
most effective and efficient manner possible, and that
grows from local to global by reflecting the vast potential
and continuously growing significance of Turkey. In line
with this objective, TAV Airports Holding’s target is to
serve to an average of 100 million passengers annually
by 2017.
There is no room for error, confusion or indecision in
airport operations, where the pace is frantic 24 hours
a day. Armed with this awareness, TAV Airports serves
its customers with experienced and cheerful staff at
every point; from the parking lot to security control,
from check-in to cafes, from its duty-free shops to the
boarding gates.
