THYSSENKRUPP’S LARGEST AIRPORT CONTRACT IN ISTANBUL
thyssenkrupp Elevator has completed its largest-ever airport contract for the new Istanbul Grand Airport, delivering more than 140 passenger boarding bridges and four elevators in just 27 months. The technology will help provide a "seamless boarding experience" to approximately 200 million people each year in Turkey's largest infrastructure investment to date. When complete, Istanbul Grand Airport will have six runways and be the world's largest airport. Phase one opened on October 29 with two runways and a terminal that can accommodate 90 million people a year. The project posed a number of challenges, including a 50km2 construction site, across which 33,000 workers were operating.
