TK Elevator will supply 106 passenger boarding bridges (PBBs), 93 advanced visual docking guidance systems (A-VDGS) and a MAX Monitor & Control system

The contract involves the new state-of-the-art Terminal A at Zayed International Airport in Abu Dhabi. Covering 742,000m2, it is one of the largest airport terminals in the world, and equipped with the latest technologies. Operational since November, the terminal has the potential to double the airport’s current passenger and cargo capacity. It will accommodate up to 45 million passengers per year, be able to process 11,000 travellers per hour and operate 79 aircraft at any given time.

TK Elevator’s MAX Monitor & Control digital solution features a unique combination of live airport visualisation with real-time information and control. Advanced interfaces to IT system or equipment can be fully customised according to an airport’s needs. In addition to being the main supplier of mobility units at the new terminal, TK Elevator has signed a full maintenance contract with Zayed.
