Airports
AviAlliance acquires interests in privatized airports and operates them - together with the other shareholders - as independent commercial enterprises. AviAlliance supports the operational and economic management of airport holdings, but also provides services to other airports and companies in airport-related industries, such as commissioning, retail design, as an international transaction manager or when creating master plans, in construction project and sustainability management. In 2005, the former HTA together with the Australian Hastings Funds Management Ltd., the Canadian Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec and the German KfW IPEX-Bank launched AviAlliance Capital (formerly Hochtief AirPort Capital (HTAC)). In the process, the then HTA contributed shares in the airport holdings to the partnership.
