Cairo International Airport | Automated People Mover (Monorail)
Status: Under Construction
The Automated People Mover will integrate into the airport’s infrastructure to ensure a smooth and seamless passenger flow and reduce walking distances for passengers. Based on a "Cable Car System" which is a highly innovative public transportation rope-hauled system, the new APM will be a high-performance, cost-effective solution for passenger transportation at CAI. The main station will be located between T2/T3 and will become an integral part of the bridge connecting the two terminals. The 1.8 KM track is expected to go into operation by mid of 2011 and will link T1 , the Air Mall , the Multi-storey Car Park and Terminals 2/3.
