TK Airport Systems

TK Elevator (formerly thyssenkrupp Elevator) is a global leader in urban mobility and infrastructure engineering, operating a dedicated division—TK Airport Solutions—that services over 370 airports worldwide. From landside terminal access to airside operations, TK Elevator provides end-to-end mobility systems engineered to handle high passenger throughput, streamline terminal navigation, and optimize aircraft turnaround times.

Their aviation portfolio centers on specialized Passenger Boarding Bridges (PBBs)—including flexible Apron Drive bridges, high-precision Noseloaders, and dual-deck A380 docking systems—alongside integrated Ground Support Equipment (GSE) such as Pre-Conditioned Air (PCA) units and 400Hz Ground Power Units (GPUs). Within the terminal, TK Elevator designs heavy-duty airport elevators, high-speed escalators, and long-span moving walkways (travelators) engineered for 24/7 continuous operation under extreme pedestrian traffic.

At the forefront of digital airport innovation, TK Elevator developed MAX Automate and ApronVision, cutting-edge technologies enabling automated and remote-controlled boarding bridge docking. By transforming major hubs—such as Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport, the world’s first fully remote-operated PBB hub—TK Elevator enhances gate safety, minimizes ground incidents, and reduces aircraft apron emissions.
