Turkish group to take over management of Monastir Airport in 2008
Tunis , June 27, 2007 (TunisiaOnline) --TAV, a Turkish group specialized in airport management, will take over the management of Monastir airport by 2008.
The airport which is in use since 1968 is connected to more than 200 airports in the world and has a capacity of 3, 5 million passengers a year. Its revenues are estimated at 50 million Euros per year.
The same operator which won a recent bid to take over the Enfidha airport, will start construction work on the project end of 2007.
The Enfidha airport which will be operational in 2009, is expected to have an initial capacity of some 5, 5 million passengers, and should gradually supersede Tunis Carthage airport, to become Tunisia 's largest airport.
Enfidha, which is located between Hammamet and Sousse , will also witness a major overhaul of its infrastructural capacity with the digging of a deep water harbour, as well as the modernization of its roadwork.
