Alarko keen on bid for third airport

ISTANBUL

Alarko Group General Coordinator Ayhan Yavrucu said Alarko might be interested in joining a consortium and entering the tender for Istanbul’s third airport.

“We are probably the company that has built the most airports in Turkey. We are interested in the third airport tender,” Yavrucu said at Bahçeşehir University. Alarko has already applied for the preliminary qualification for the privatization of the Bosphorus bridges and highways. Yavrucu added that the company had not yet devised a concrete financing plan for the privatization.

Yavrucu also said Alarko’s energy activities would soon overtake the company’s construction arm in the next five years.
