The contract is valued at just over 72.2 million USD.

It follows a 2022 agreement for Alstom to continue maintaining the 64 Innovia APM 200 vehicles, subsystems and related components at DFW.

In addition, Alstom is responsible for maintaining the eight-kilometre elevated dual-lane guideway, including the guide beam, third rail power, power distribution, guideway heating systems and Automatic Train Control equipment.

It consequently has a team of 100 operations and maintenance experts devoted to serving the DFW Skylink. This system has a consistent operational performance of 99.7%.

Michael Keroullé, President and CEO, Alstom Americas said:

“Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is one of the busiest in the world, and the Skylink APM is fundamental to moving passengers and the employees who keep the airport running. We are grateful for DFW’s long-term partnership, which demonstrates the value our services team continues to bring to our airport customers. We are committed to this partnership. This new contract will allow us to further enhance the world-class experience people have come to expect from Skylink.”
