The contract is valued at $220 million US (193 million euro) and includes an option for an additional five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith 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,\u201d said Elliot G. (Lee) Sander, President, Americas Division, Bombardier Transportation.  \u201cWe look forward to supporting the airport as it extends and modernizes the AirTrain system to meet its future mobility requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bombardier delivered the airport\u2019s 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\u2019s 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SFO AirTrain was the world\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3000\" height=\"1298\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/SFO.jpg?fit=640%2C277\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/SFO.jpg 3000w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/SFO-300x130.jpg 300w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/SFO-768x332.jpg 768w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/SFO-1024x443.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mobility,technology,leader,Bombardier,Transportation,new,contract,City,County,San,Francisco,automated,people,mover,APM,International,Airport,SFO,operations,maintenance,service,safe,reliable,service,Air,Train,system,Innovia,APM,100,vehicle,station,elevated,guideway,terminal,parking,garage,rental,car,center,Bay,Area,Rapid,Transit,BART,station,designing,build,operate,travel,transport,transportation,news,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3965,89,2303,2203,868,1103],"tags":[927,539,92,5509,2721,5379,5517,3551,52,3798,818,2135,2286,430,1088,5518,5512,2880,5514,5515,5511,199,3874,2510,3113,5508,718,412,5519,1557,5513,4544,5516,5510,2463,4842,2879,1055,71,4470,1177,1093,3967,2718,1176,1691,1658,1916,1272],"class_list":["post-5264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-airport-news","category-aviation-news","category-electric-vehicle-news","category-finance-news","category-transportation-news","category-travel-news","tag-927","tag-air","tag-airport","tag-apm","tag-area","tag-automated","tag-bart","tag-bay","tag-bombardier","tag-build","tag-car","tag-center","tag-city","tag-contract","tag-county","tag-designing","tag-elevated","tag-francisco","tag-garage","tag-guideway","tag-innovia","tag-international","tag-leader","tag-maintenance","tag-mobility","tag-mover","tag-new","tag-news","tag-operate","tag-operations","tag-parking","tag-people","tag-rapid","tag-reliable","tag-rental","tag-safe","tag-san","tag-service","tag-sfo","tag-station","tag-system","tag-technology","tag-terminal","tag-train","tag-transit","tag-transport","tag-transportation","tag-travel","tag-vehicle"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5264","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5264"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5264\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5266,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5264\/revisions\/5266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5264"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5264"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5264"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
