Based on this, the board approved the technical evaluation results and authorized the opening of financial bids from companies that met the technical specifications. Incheon got an evaluation score of 87.5 percent, while TAV followed closely with 87 percent, sources narrated.
Sources pointed out that this development is considered a major leap in the competitive tendering process for the strategic management of Terminal Four, an important facility at the airport.
