Havas

Havas (Havaalanları Yer Hizmetleri A.Ş.) is a major Turkish provider of ground handling and logistics services within the commercial aviation value chain. It operates as a subsidiary of TAV Airports Holding and serves as a critical link between airline flight operations and airport infrastructure. The firm manages the physical interface for passenger processing, ramp services, and cargo movements, ensuring the transition of assets and personnel from landside to airside environments. The organisation provides comprehensive handling solutions to domestic and international carriers across a wide network of airports in Türkiye and selected international locations. Its portfolio includes baggage handling, aircraft de-icing, fuel management, and load control for a variety of narrow-body and wide-body commercial aircraft. Notable long-term partnerships involve major regional flag carriers and low-cost operators navigating the Eurasian aviation corridor. Prospective buyers or partners should verify the specific ground handling licenses and certifications held by the organisation at individual airport locations. It is essential to confirm their compliance with IATA Safety Audit for Ground Operations (ISAGO) standards and check current equipment availability for specific airframe requirements. Contractual due diligence should focus on service level agreements related to turnaround times and safety protocols.
