Alstom has signed a contract worth $72.2 million with Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) to manage a modernization and replacement program for the Skylink automated people mover (APM) system.

The project calls for overhauling, retrofitting or replacing vehicle and wayside components of the Skylink system, according to an Alstom news release. DFW is the world's second-busiest airport covering more than 26 square miles.

In 2022, Alstom signed a 10-year contract with DFW to continue maintaining the 64 Innovia APM 200 vehicles, subsystems and related components. Alstom is also responsible for maintaining the elevated dual-lane guideway, which includes the guide beam, third-rail power, power distribution, guideway heating systems and automatic train-control equipment.
