Finance Ministry calls on firms to bid for airport consultancy tender

The Czech Finance Ministry is looking for a consultancy firm to advise it on the privatization of Prague’s Ruzyně airport. On Friday, the ministry called for consultants to start bidding for the contract. The deadline for submissions is August 29, a spokesperson said. The government is looking to have selected its advisors by the end of the year. Prague airport is considered to be one of the Czech government’s most valuable assets up for privatization in the near future. The net profit generated last year by the hub was 1.1 billion crowns (72.6 million USD).
