TAV Airports

TAV Airports is an aviation and aerospace company.

TAV Airports is a success story built on the accumulation of knowledge, experience and creativity gained in airport operations, one of the world’s most challenging sectors. TAV’s history started in 1997 with the tender for the Istanbul Ataturk Airport International Terminal. TAV Airports Holding was established as a joint venture between the Tepe and Akfen groups, who won the tender. Having grown to become a great success story within a very short period of time, TAV soon became a global brand in airport construction projects as well as airport operations; a brand new area, thanks to its know-how, highly skilled human resources and advanced technology. Having gone through a restructuring process in 2006 in line with its goals, TAV re-organized its “operational” and “construction” activities under TAV Airports Holding and TAV Construction. Following this re-structuring process, TAV Airports Holding was opened up for public offering in February 2007. In May 2012, 38 percent of TAV Airports’ shares was sold to Aéroports de Paris.
