TAV Welcomes you to Istanbul

We are delighted to be meeting this year at Istanbul, the 2010 European Capital of Culture, together with our host - TAV Airports.

TAV Airports, the leading airports operator in Turkey, was established ten years ago as a joint venture between Tepe and Akfen, two leading Turkish infrastructure conglomerates, following their successful build-operate-transfer bid for the international terminal of Istanbul Atatürk International Airport.

During the past ten years, TAV has financed, constructed, developed and continues to manage and operate a total of ten airports in Turkey (Istanbul Atatürk, Ankara, Izmir and Antalya Gazipasa), Georgia (Tbilisi and Batumi), Tunisia (Monastir and Enfidha) and Macedonia (Skopje and Ohrid).

TAV Airports Holding also provides a wide range of aviation-related services through its various subsidiaries, including ground handling, duty free, food and beverage, aviation security, airport IT products and services, etc.

Its sister company, TAV Construction, is also a leading airport EPC contractor, with a number of international airports and terminals, including Doha (Qatar), Cairo TB3 (Egypt), Muscat Seeb (Oman) and Tripoli and Sebha (Libya).

Istanbul is the historic crossroads of Europe, Central and South Asia and the Middle East. Airport Exchange 2010 will capitalise on Istanbul’s unique geographic location, and will ensure that Airport Exchange 2010 will attract many attendees and will be the air transport event of the year.
