Mobility technology leader Bombardier Transportation announced
today that it has signed a new contract with the City and County of
San Francisco to provide ten years of operations and maintenance
services for the BOMBARDIER INNOVIA APM 100 automated people mover
(APM) system at San Francisco International Airport (SFO). The
contract is valued at $220 million US (193 million euro) and
includes an option for an additional five years.
“With this new contract, we will continue to provide San
Francisco International Airport with the operations and maintenance
services as well as the INNOVIA APM vehicles and signalling
technology that bring safe and reliable service to the over seven
million passengers who ride the AirTrain system every year,” said
Elliot G. (Lee) Sander, President, Americas Division, Bombardier
Transportation. “We look forward to supporting the airport as
it extends and modernizes the AirTrain system to meet its future
mobility requirements.”
Bombardier delivered the airport’s transit system, known as SFO
AirTrain, and has been providing operations and maintenance
services since it opened in 2003. The AirTrain fleet of 38 INNOVIA
APM 100 vehicles serves nine stations along six miles of elevated
guideway and connects the airport’s terminals, parking garages,
rental car center, and a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station.
Under a contract awarded in 2016, Bombardier is providing three
additional INNOVIA APM 100 vehicles, a 2,000-foot guideway
extension, a new station, and a signalling upgrade.
Bombardier has nearly 50 years of experience in designing,
building, operating and maintaining automated transit systems for
airports and cities in North America, Europe, the Middle East and
Asia. Nine of the ten busiest airports in the United States,
including SFO, have chosen Bombardier for their automated transit
systems.
SFO AirTrain was the world’s first automated transit system to
feature the state-of-the-art BOMBARDIER CITYFLO 650
communications-based train control technology. Among other
features, this technology allows a high degree of operating
flexibility to accommodate peak passenger demands.
