The Saudi Arabian Civil Aviation Authority GACA announced that TAV Construction's offer was chosen for the project and the official notification was received by TAV on 13.05.2013. The King Khaled Airport Terminal-5 project, the third tender TAV Construction has won in Saudi Arabia after the Jeddah Airport Aircraft Maintenance Hangars and Medinah International Airport projects, will involve a 100,000 square meter passenger terminal and various auxiliary facilities.

We won the construction project of the new terminal building in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for a contract value of 400 million dollars. This is a very important project. Airport privatizations are continuing in Saudi Arabia. This airport is also one of those which will be privatized soon. In the meantime, our investment and operation in Medinah is also ongoing. Our 800 million dollar hangar construction project at Jeddah Airport also continues. We are now happy to be undertaking an airport construction project in the country’s third largest city and capital. The airport construction and operations business depends heavily on technology. We continue proudly representing our country throughout the world.”
