The system and Fraport\u2019s Terminal 2 opened on the same day 25 years ago. Since 1994, Germany\u2019s first elevated passenger transport system called the SkyLine, has connected Terminals 1 and 2. With an average reliability of 99.83 percent, twelve million passengers and guests per year safely and comfortably arrive at their destinations in the terminals \u2013 around the clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019d like to congratulate our customer on this quarter century anniversary. We have a very successful and long-standing partnership with Fraport, which marks our joint success in moving millions of travelers between terminals at the Frankfurt Airport,\u201d said Michael Fohrer, Head of Bombardier Transportation Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFraport benefits from a high-performing turnkey transit system, which was not only manufactured by Bombardier, but also operated and maintained. I am grateful to all our committed and competent employees, without them this milestone would not have been possible,\u201d emphasized Alexander Ketterl, Head of Sales and Delivery German cities at Bombardier Transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volker Maul, Head of the Bombardier team at Frankfurt Airport, can look back on the people mover system&#8217;s 25 years of service. &#8220;The excellent cooperation within our team and with our customer built the foundation for the system\u2019s near 100 percent reliability. Bombardier&#8217;s operations and maintenance program is carefully designed to optimize system performance and ensure potential problems are identified and resolved before the service\u2019s efficiency is compromised,&#8221; he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fraport\u2019s fleet of 18\u00a0<em>INNOVIA<\/em>\u00a0vehicles transport around thirty-five thousand passengers daily, on the 3.8 km route between departure terminals. During peak times, the trains depart every 90 seconds with each wagon carrying up to 60 passengers and their luggage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1994, Fraport was the first German customer to invest in Bombardier&#8217;s driverless system, installed with the proven\u00a0<em>BOMBARDIER CITYFLO<\/em>\u00a0550 signaling system.\u00a0<em>CITYFLO\u00a0<\/em>delivers the highest levels of safety while meeting customer demand for flexible, high-performance and cost-effective solutions.<em>\u00a0<\/em>More than 30 Bombardier people mover systems are in successful operation worldwide, including urban areas such as Guangzhou and airports in London, Rome, Madrid, Phoenix, Dubai and Tampa among other cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"814\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/csm_Render_by_DAY_02_finish_d311cd9991.jpg?fit=640%2C362\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/csm_Render_by_DAY_02_finish_d311cd9991.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/csm_Render_by_DAY_02_finish_d311cd9991-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/csm_Render_by_DAY_02_finish_d311cd9991-768x434.jpg 768w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/csm_Render_by_DAY_02_finish_d311cd9991-1024x579.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, global mobility solution provider Bombardier Transportation celebrates 25 years of fully automatic BOMBARDIER INNOVIA APM 100 people mover system\u2019s operation at Frankfurt am Main Airport.
