Total Project Cost is estimated at approximately €3.4 billion to be financed by a combination of equity and debt. The proposed investment entails a long-term project finance package consisting of a loan of up to €300 million from IFC’s own account and a B loan of up to €250 million for the account of the participants. This financing will support the Company in refinancing the existing €2.3 billion bridge loan raised for the expansion of AYT.

 The Project is in the city of Antalya in Türkiye.                                                  

 Update 2025: This is a Category A project as per IFC's Policy on Environmental and Social Sustainability, as the project activities have significant adverse E&S risks and/or impacts that are diverse, irreversible, or unprecedented.

 The project’s E&S risks profile does not change as a result of the proposed LTF investment and it includes the following aspects: i) FTA’s and EPC contractor’s capacity to manage E&S risks; ii) labor and working conditions, including contractor management and occupational health and safety (OHS); iii) management of effluents, air emissions, wastes, hazardous materials and adequacy of noise and air quality control measures; iv) management of increased air and road traffic volume; and v) fire safety and emergency preparedness and response. Two additional critical ongoing issues relate to past government-led resettlement and constructing and operating a fuel farm adjacent to the airport and nearby residential buildings.
