HTAC is a closed private investment company for the purpose of investing in airports world-wide. HTAC is also described as an investment partnership.

The growing aviation market offers great investment opportunities for private investors. In the long-term investments in airports offer stable cash flows and attractive returns on investment (ROI). Even following a crisis, airports return to their former growth pattern in a timely manner. But the challenges involved are complex. Airports tie up large amounts of capital and a successful management requires considerable operational know-how. This makes strong alliances imperative for all those who seek to shape the future of this market.

In terms of their backgrounds and strategic interests, the HTAC partners ideally supplement one another. As institutional investors, Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec and Hastings Funds Management Ltd. have the task of investing the capital entrusted to them as securely and profitably as possible. They both have extensive experience in the financing of private infrastructure facilities–Australia and Canada were pioneers in this sector. KfW IPEX-Bank GmbH represents a well established institution in the field of infrastructure financing, investing in equity participations and providing long-term loans to infrastructure projects worldwide.

The general partner HOCHTIEF AirPort is responsible for the active administration of the investment partnership. Since the mid-90s, HOCHTIEF AirPort has carved out a position for itself as one of the world's leading independent airport managers. In its capacity as the general partner, HOCHTIEF AirPort places its experience in privatization procedures and the operational management of airports at the disposal of HTAC.

By pooling these varied competencies, HTAC intends both to increase the asset value of its present shareholdings and also to extend its portfolio. Together with HOCHTIEF AirPort, HTAC participates in bidding procedures for airports, with the partners deciding jointly on the suitability of any specific project. The focus of interest is primarily on facilities with more than five million passengers a year which offer the right prerequisites for stable growth and good value enhancement.
