Mobility solution provider Bombardier Transportation announced
today that it renewed a contract with the Port Authority of New
York and New Jersey to provide operations and maintenance services
for the Authority’s automated transit system (AirTrain JFK) at John
F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. The contract is
valued at approximately $309 million US (277 million
euro) and covers a period of five years.
“We greatly appreciate the confidence the Port Authority has
placed in us and look forward to continuing our 16-year partnership
in providing safe, reliable, customer-friendly, 24/7, 365-day
service to AirTrain JFK’s growing ridership,” said Elliot G. (Lee)
Sander, President, Americas Region, Bombardier Transportation.
“We’re proud to offer a convenient and efficient mobility solution
for JFK’s passengers and employees, not only within the airport,
but between the airport and the city’s transit systems,” he
continued.
Bombardier’s scope of work under the contract includes: 24-hour
train operations and passenger assistance; maintenance of the
vehicle fleet; maintenance of the tracks and power supply and
signalling systems; and maintenance of all facilities on the system
such as stations and platforms.
Bombardier was a member of the consortium responsible for
designing and supplying the AirTrain JFK system, including the
fleet of 32 metro vehicles, today branded as BOMBARDIER MOVIA, and
has been operating and maintaining the system since its opening in
December 2003. The system currently serves a total ridership of
over 20 million passengers annually.
Bombardier has been designing, building, operating and
maintaining automated transit systems for airports and cities
around the world for nearly 50 years. In the United States, the ten
busiest airports have chosen Bombardier for their transportation
systems.
