The rail network is planned to be located 15m to 20m above the ground and is intended to offer connectivity to new parking facilities, car hire points and metro light-rail stations within the airline terminals.
It will comprise an almost 3.6km-long track and allow nine trains to operate simultaneously in order to improve access to the airport’s terminals.
The initiative will also see the delivery of 44 Bombardier APM vehicles.
