Düsseldorf (Germany), January 10, 2025 – TK Elevator (TKE), a global leader in vertical transportation and urban mobility, has won two Elevator World 2025 Project of the Year Awards for escalator and moving walks installations. TKE demonstrated outstanding capabilities to bring strong solution expertise and technical implementation within architecturally challenging environments. The Grand Cruise Terminal at Doha Port was awarded first place in the “Escalators, New Construction” category, and the Sky Bridge at Hong Kong International Airport won first place in the “Moving Walks” category.

Both projects highlight TKE’s expertise in understanding the tourism and transportation industries and designing tailored solutions that allow customers to operate high-capacity ports effectively and travelers to reach their destinations safely and smoothly. Elevator World’s recognition is a testament to TKE’s dedication to delivering exceptionally engineered solutions that complement the site’s architectural beauty.

“We are honored by Elevator World’s recognition of our talented teams and their groundbreaking work in Doha and Hong Kong,” said Uday Yadav, CEO of TK Elevator. “These remarkable projects demonstrate our understanding of the challenges architects and engineers face and reflect our commitment to providing world-class mobility solutions for passengers around the world, enhancing urban infrastructure, and improving overall travel experiences.”

Project Information

Grand Cruise Terminal at Doha Port was awarded first place in the “Escalator, New Construction” category. In alignment with Qatar National Vision 2030 and its emphasis on expanding the nation’s tourism sector, the Grand Cruise Terminal at Doha Port stands as a new maritime gateway and a key attraction for cruise enthusiasts and passengers globally. Recognized by Forbes as one of the world’s most beautiful cruise terminals, this architectural marvel boasts traditional Arab design, restores the historic connection between Doha and the sea, and boosts tourism to the country. During the 2023-24 cruise season, the Doha Port recorded a 38% increase in visitors and a 33% rise in ships serviced compared to the previous season, aided by TKE’s escalator solution.

Hong Kong International Airport Sky Bridge secured first place in the “Moving Walks” category. The Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) Sky Bridge is a groundbreaking project designed to enhance the passenger experience and elevate HKIA’s status as a global aviation hub. The Sky Bridge, which stands as the world’s longest airside bridge, spans a taxiway at the airport and soars 28 meters above ground. This architectural marvel allows even the largest passenger aircraft, the Airbus A380, to pass beneath it. Spanning 200 meters, the Sky Bridge connects Terminal 1 with the T1 Satellite Concourse, significantly reducing travel time within the airport, eliminating the need for shuttle buses and enhancing the overall passenger journey.
