After numerous delays the Turkish company, Tepe Akfen Ventures, will take control over FYROM’s 2 international airports, Skopje and Ohrid, on Monday March 1, the A1 network reports. TAV will control the airports until 2030 and will invest 200 million Euros

for the upgrade of existing facilities and the construction of new ones. According to the deal signed between TAV and the FYROM’s Government 2 years ago, TAV has to construct a completely new modern terminal at Skopje Alexander the Great Airport with the existing runway being enlarged while communal infrastructure, a car park and a cargo building would be built together with the main project. Meanwhile, Ohrid’s St. Paul the Apostle Airport would go under complete reconstruction and modernization with a new car park, cargo building and VIP section to be built. Finally, the project outlines that a cargo terminal would be built in Štip in Eastern FYROM.
We remind that TAV won in its bid to control FYROM’s airports for the next 20 years in 2008 on the precondition of investing 200 million Euros in the country’s airport infrastructure. TAV has twice delayed its takeover of FYROM’s 2 airports with the excuse that it was waiting for loan approval from European banks so it could invest the agreed sum.
