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.
Ignacio Medina, general manager at TK Airport Solutions Spain, said: “Our solutions contribute significantly to the airport’s operational efficiency and, at the same time, improve the passengers’ experience. With our MAX Monitor & Control system, we maximise operational efficiency through real-time intelligence and higher equipment availability. We’re pleased that we could provide reliable products and services to one of the most modern airports in the world.”
TK Elevator has already supplied the other terminals at Zayed. There are more than 250 TK Elevator mobility solutions installed at the airport, including 130 PBBs and 150 A-VDGS, with an additional 20 set to be installed in the coming months.
