TK Elevator Secures HKIA Maintenance Renewal, Adding 174 Units to Terminal 2

TK Elevator (TKE), a global leader in urban mobility solutions, has announced an extended partnership with Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA). This agreement is a four-year renewal of a maintenance contract. It significantly expands TKE's role in supporting the airport's infrastructure. This marks the third consecutive four-year renewal between the two entities. The partnership now spans over a decade.

Expanded Maintenance and Universal Service

The renewed contract covers the maintenance of 358 mobility units across the airport. This total includes elevators, escalators, and moving walks. The scope includes 282 TKE and third-party units in Terminal 1. It also covers more than 70 third-party units in the new Terminal 2.

This partnership highlights TKE's Universal Service proposition. This program provides OEM-level service for equipment from major brands. It allows HKIA to use a single provider for all its vertical transportation needs. This approach is vital for maintaining high operational efficiency. It ensures a seamless passenger experience.

Supporting the Terminal 2 Expansion

The maintenance contract runs alongside a major installation project. TKE is providing new units for the HKIA Terminal 2 expansion. This expansion is part of the airport's massive Three-Runway System project. The goal is to increase the airport's passenger capacity. It will ultimately handle up to 50 million passengers annually.

New Installation Details

• An additional 96 TKE elevators are currently being installed in the main Terminal 2 building.
• Another 78 mobility units are being added at the Terminal 2 Concourse.
• The total number of new units being installed is 174.

This new equipment will be critical for managing the increased passenger flow. It supports HKIA's vision as a leading aviation and logistics hub. This is especially important for connectivity in the Greater Bay Area.

Innovation and Industry Impact

The partnership also includes TKE's innovative technology. Their iwalk modular moving walk solution powers HKIA's Skybridge. This structure is known as the world's longest airside bridge. The iwalk solution won the Project of the Year 2025 award. It was recognized in the Moving Walks category by Elevator World magazine.

This extended contract reinforces TKE's position. It is a trusted, long-standing partner of HKIA. The CEO of Asia Pacific for TK Elevator, Jürgen Böhler, noted the importance of the partnership. He stated that TKE proudly supports HKIA's vision. This is achieved by delivering innovative mobility solutions. These solutions enhance seamless travel across public transport networks.

Reliable vertical transportation is crucial for large, modern airports. Any failure can cause significant passenger delays. It can also disrupt airport operations. TKE's multi-brand service model offers a key advantage. It provides a single point of accountability for all equipment. This is a critical factor for airport operational success.
