Turkish, Russian companies to build Rostov airport for 2018 World Cup

Turkey’s Limak Construction has won a tender to build an airport with a capacity of 8 million passengers in the Russian city of Rostov, one of the host cities of the 2018 World Cup, according to the company.
Limak said it would build the facility with a Russian partner, Marashstroy, adding that the final signatures would be inked by the end of June.
“The project will cost around €210 mln and will be completed in the next two years. Our aim is to finalize the project by the FIFA World Cup in 2018,” said a board member of Limak, Serdar Bacaksız.
The selection process to pick the company to build the airport started in 2014. A total of 23 companies submitted their proposals, with 18 of them being invited to submit a bid. A negotiation process started in February, after which Limak and Marashstroy were selected by the tender committee, said the company.
Limak is also the member of a consortium which will build the controversial third airport of Istanbul. The company is currently building a second terminal at Cairo Airport and has the operation rights to Kosovo’s Pristina Airport.
