IC İçtaş, the contractor and operator of Zafer Airport, which was built with the build-operate-transfer model and made a name for itself in the world by not reaching even 1 percent of the guaranteed number of passengers, announced that they are waiting for offers for sale.
Things are not going well at Zafer Airport, which was opened in 2012 with the Build-Operate-Transfer model to serve the provinces of Kütahya, Afyon and Uşak.
According to the news in SÖZCU, Speaking to Bloomberg, Abdullah Keleş, the operator of IC İçtaş, said that they are waiting for offers to sell Zafer Airport.

MARGIN OF ERRORS 99 PERCENT
