The tender, which provided the exit of Balçova Hill, which is the most beautiful in Izmir and which has been closed for 5 years, will be finalized with the modern technology. Although the Public Procurement Authority (JCC) changed the result twice with the decision of corrective action, the final decision was made at the ropeway facilities whose tender was canceled by the Metropolitan Municipality because the winning company could not bring the necessary documents.

Ankara 14th Administrative Court, with a majority of votes, stopped the execution of the KİK's annulment decision regarding the previous tender. Thereupon, the Metropolitan Municipality, which canceled the last tender without receiving financial offers, invited STM Teleferik to bring the necessary documents to make a contract. With the renewal of the cable car facility, the landing and landing capacity will be increased from 400 people per hour to 2 thousand 400 people per hour, and the annual carrying capacity of 300 thousand people will increase to 500-600 thousand people. Instead of the old four-person passenger cabins, 8 or 12-person cabins will be used in the ropeway system. Thanks to the automation system on the new cable car line, the cabins will automatically stop when the rope comes off and immediate intervention will be possible.
