The 2001 European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is financing the construction and operation of a new domestic terminal at Dalaman airport in the south-western Turkish province of Muğla under a public-private partnership (PPP) scheme.

The Bank is lending US$196 million to YDA Havalimani Yapim ve Isletme, a special-purpose company set up by the Turkish construction and infrastructure company YDA Insaat, which was awarded the concession contract last year.

The funds will be used to build a new energy-efficient and environmentally friendly domestic terminal with auxiliary structures including road access and parking facilities. The project will accommodate the strong growth in domestic and international traffic at Dalaman airport.

The new terminal will increase domestic passenger capacity of Dalaman airport from the current three million to ten million passengers per year, giving a significant boost to the tourism industry.
