When an airport is privatized, a great many different interests have to be taken into consideration. These include the legal and regulatory framework, the scope for regional development, and the growing requirements of airlines, concession-holders and passengers. HTA's objective always is to devise – in close cooperation with local partners – a tailor-made solution that meets the demands of public-sector shareholders and private investors alike.

HTA has wide-ranging experience in its chosen sector. Through its involvement in six successful airport privatizations of different sizes and structures in Germany, Greece, Australia, Hungary and Albania, the company has accumulated a wealth of know-how and demonstrated its expertise. Starting out from the long years of project experience in airport construction acquired by its parent company, HOCHTIEF, HTA has continuously extended its competence in the airport sector. Today, it specializes in airport management and the management of its own shareholdings, handles privatizations, acts as advisor to airports and the investors in the HTAC investment partnership, and participates in bidding procedures.
