passenger connectivity
Passenger hubs are designed to blend human-centered, universal design with seamless passenger flow. Accessible, intuitive spaces guide travelers effortlessly from check-in to gate, while technology keeps them informed and connected. Comfortable seating, retail, and dining enhance the journey.
Device charging and connectivity are provided either in-seat or via strategically placed charging stations in areas where passengers naturally gather, such as waiting areas, food courts, and gate lounges. Many USB ports are integrated directly into seating, furniture, and tables, offering convenient access without disrupting the passenger hub design.
Recognizing that modern travellers rely on phones for boarding passes, navigation, and communication, seamless charging has become a vital part of the travel experience.

Integrated USB charging in airport furniture is rapidly becoming a must-have, giving passengers convenient power for phones, laptops, and other devices while they wait. Built-in USB ports and wireless charging pads are seamlessly incorporated into seating, tables, and key passenger touchpoints, creating a true “power everywhere” experience that keeps travelers connected and stress-free.
TUF-R USB charging modules can be integrated seamlessly with airport beam seating, delivering convenient, reliable power for passengers without disrupting the clean, modern aesthetic of the terminal. Power at the gate is especially valuable during waiting times and potential delays, with many passengers relying on their phones for boarding passes and travel updates.
Sustainability plays a key role in modern passenger hub design, with features like natural light reducing energy use while enhancing the passenger experience. Incorporating an ECO-Award-winning passenger power solution like TUF-R further strengthens this approach, aligning convenience with environmentally responsible design.
There are more than 6,700 charging points installed in convenient locations throughout the Hong Kong passenger terminals, such as boarding gates and transfer areas, enabling passengers to charge their personal electronic devices. TUF-R power modules have also been fitted into the beam seating.
