Alstom has delivered the first of 29 Innovia APM R automated people-mover trains to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in the US.<\/p>\n

This delivery is part of an $87m project, marking Alstom\u2019s largest APM replacement contract and its second-largest APM project in the Americas. It is the third order from the airport for Innovia APM vehicles, which now total 63.<\/p>\n

The latest generation of Innovia APMs is designed to enhance reliability and reduce the likelihood of operational failures, thereby improving service for passengers.<\/p>\n

The Innovia APM R trains feature lightweight aluminium frames and meet industry safety and sustainability standards, according to the company. Each vehicle can transport up to 900 passengers per train.<\/p>\n

The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world and served more than 108 million passengers in 2024.<\/p>\n

The additional APM cars will support the Plane Train extension project, aimed at accommodating the increasing number of travellers at the airport.<\/p>\n

This extension will enhance the system\u2019s capacity and improve multimodal connections, ensuring a seamless and efficient experience for passengers.<\/p>\n

Alstom Americas president Michael Keroulle said: \u201cOver the last 40 years, Alstom has proudly partnered with Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport to transport passengers at one of the world\u2019s busiest airports.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlstom\u2019s new Innovia APM vehicles will help the airport enhance capacity, support its expansion, and ensure travellers can smoothly embark on their next adventure or return home to their families.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alstom\u2019s APM vehicles are constructed in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, the company\u2019s primary manufacturing facility in North America.<\/p>\n

The APM systems are operational at 15 airports across the US and have been deployed in over 30 systems worldwide, including 13 of the busiest airports globally.<\/p>\n

Last month, Alstom won a contract<\/a> from Bulgaria\u2019s Ministry of Transport and Communications to deliver 35 electric Coradia Stream interregional trains, accompanied by a 15-year maintenance agreement.<\/p>\n

The BULEMU consortium, comprising Alstom and local partner RVP Invest, will handle the maintenance services for these trains.<\/p>\n
