Ankara Esenboga International Airport is a public airport situated in the town of Esenboga, 28km (17 miles) from Ankara, the capital city of Turkey. Spread over an area of 475,000m2, it is one of Europe’s most contemporary airports. It is operated by Turkey-based Tepe Akfen Ventures Airports Holding (TAV) under a public-private partnership.

The airport won the 2009 Best Airport of Europe award by the Airport Council International Europe. The ICAO code for the airport is LTAC and the IATA code is ESB. The airport is also a designated emergency landing site for NASA’s Space Shuttle.

Ankara Esenboga International Airport has been operational since 1955 and was expanded during 2004-06. The expansion added a new domestic-international terminal and a multistorey car park. The old terminal building is now used by Turkish Airlines as a technical centre. The expanded facilities, which were inaugurated on 13 October 2006, increased the capacity of the airport to ten million passengers a year from two million.

Ankara Esenboga International Airport handled 7.8 million passengers in 2010.

Ankara airport’s contractors and construction

 

TAV Construction was awarded the £250m contract to build Ankara Esenboga International Airport’s new terminal complex and multi-level car park under a build-operate-transfer basis. The contract included the construction of the facilities within 36 months, and the operation of the airport for 15 years and eight months.

Construction began on 24 September 2004 and was completed on 13 October 2006, one year before the scheduled completion date. The operational contract period was therefore increased by one year.

Vanderlande Industries installed the new baggage handling systems at the airport. The €1m contract was awarded in June 2005 and the baggage handling systems were operational by October 2006.

Mott MacDonald was the aviation consultant for airport project and logistics were provided by TRANSTAS Global Logistics.
