TAV Construction-Al Rajhi Holding-Al Habtoor Leighton Joint Venture has won an US$800 million contract for the SAEI Aircraft Maintenance, Repair and Operation (MRO) facility at King Abdul Aziz International Airport in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
TAV Construction will build the MRO facility, which consists of 11 hangars, aircraft maintenance facilities, an administrative building, closed car park and aircraft parking aprons, in 900 days.
The venture will carry out the design and construction works of the facility and, if required, will undertake the second phase of the project, which is already planned.
TAV Group CEO Sani Şener, said: "We are more than happy to win the tender of construction works of hangars in Jeddah Airport; this has been another big success after the construction and operation of Medina Airport in Saudi Arabia.
“This project, which we will carry out together with our partners, is of great significance in terms of expansion works of King Abdul Aziz International Airport, the busiest airport of the country, and it is expected to provide for the operational needs of the next 20 years.
“Airport construction is a special sector requiring wide experience and specialized knowledge. You are obliged to know every kind of information about that aviation industry while constructing facilities such as terminal building, tower, hangar, runways within the core of airport. You have to know about aircrafts, their performances and their sizes, as well as meteorology, capacity of air traffic and its devices, their activity fields and their functions in detail. Additionally, you have to know passenger behaviors and administration of commercial areas. You have to master information technologies, luggage and ground services. The organization created by TAV Group is an organisation which gathers all this knowledge in its core. That is why we keep on increasing our success rate in aviation related businesses throughout the world.
“TAV Construction has also a bright history in this sector as a brand opening up to the world from Istanbul. We will keep on working in our targeted region to achieve new successful projects primarily through the airport projects”.
