Havas GSE

Havaş (Havaalanları Yer Hizmetleri A.Ş.) is a Turkish ground handling provider and ground support equipment (GSE) specialist. The organisation operates as a primary service tier within the aviation value chain, facilitating aircraft turnaround, passenger transit, and ramp operations. It functions as a subsidiary of TAV Airports and operates across major international hubs in Türkiye and several European territories. Through its extensive fleet of specialised machinery, the company provides technical services to a global roster of commercial airlines and cargo carriers. Key activities include ramp services, de-icing, passenger handling, and cargo warehousing. It maintains established service agreements with major regional flag carriers and international operators at airports such as Istanbul, Ankara, and various Baltic locations through its subsidiary Havaş Latvia. Prospective buyers or partners should verify the specific GSE maintenance certifications held at individual station locations and confirm the current scope of ground handling licences granted by national civil aviation authorities. It is also necessary to evaluate the technical specifications of their electric GSE fleet and the availability of licensed cargo processing facilities at specific airport nodes before entering service level agreements.
