TAV Havalimanlari Holding A.S. is a Turkey-based airport operations and services company. Through its subsidiaries, the company develops, operates and manages airports, providing passenger terminal services, ground handling, duty-free retail, food and beverage, lounge operations, information technology and commercial airport services.
The company was established in 1997 by Tepe and Akfen and initially operated the international terminal at Istanbul Ataturk Airport. Although that concession ended in 2019, TAV has expanded its airport portfolio in Turkey and internationally. Its activities have included airport operations in countries such as Georgia, Tunisia, North Macedonia, Saudi Arabia and Croatia, with the specific portfolio changing as concessions begin or expire.
TAV’s operating businesses include Havaş, which provides ground-handling services; TAV Operation Services, which manages lounges and airport hospitality; TAV Technologies, which supplies information technology solutions; and ATÜ Duty Free, a duty-free retail joint venture. The company is part of the wider Groupe ADP airport network, which became a significant shareholder in TAV Airports in 2012. Serkan Kaptan has served as the company’s chief executive officer since 2022.
