TAV Airports

TAV is a success story in aviation sector, which is one of world’s most challenging sectors, airport operations and construction written with know-how, experience and creativity. TAV's history dates back to 1997, with the official call for tenders for the Istanbul Atatürk Airport International Terminal Building. TAV was established as a joint venture between Tepe and Akfen groups who won the tender. Put into operation in 2000, Istanbul Atatürk Airport is amongst the very first examples of "Build-Operate-Transfer"​ projects in the world. This project, reflecting the contemporary image of Turkey, has also come to be the first concrete step of TAV's success story.
