I was wondering, are there any plans to replace the aging Westinghouse C-100 vehicles on the automated people mover at the Orlando International Airport? I think these vehicles are over 20 years old, and should be replaced soon.

The Bombardier CX-100 is an easy upgrade, as it is capable of using most of the C-100's infrastructre. The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport replaced their original C-100 vehicles in 2002 with the CX-100.

Some quick searching on the GOAA site turns up a couple PDFs that indicate that the maintenance contract will be renewed with Bombardier and that some minor hardware upgrades will be made for airside four. Nothing that indicates any major upgrades that I can find.
