Opportunities to Foreign Investment in Kosovo
Prishtina International Airport - Adem Jashari (PIA-AJ) to LKIA, which is managed by
the Turkish-French consortium Limak-Aeroports de Lyon, has begun. The private partner
has in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement asked to extend the deadline for
another 30 days. This process was preceded by the fulfillment of certain preconditions,
among which was the ensuring of financing by LKIA, the approval of designs for the
terminal, etc.
Consortium Limak-Aeroports de Lyon is expected to invest in order to modernize and
expand PIA-AJ by spending over €100 Million in new infrastructure, including the
construction of a new terminal. The private partner is also expected to operate the Airport
by offering extended services at high quality. Republic of Kosovo will retain 100%
ownership of the Airport. This transfer is the result of an initiative by the Government of
Kosovo to improve public enterprises by placing them in the management of private
companies.
