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.

“This is one of the €200bn-worth of PPP infrastructure projects that our teams have identified for the 2018-2021 period in our key markets.”

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.

ACS Group and HOCHTIEF CEO Marcelino Fernández Verdes said: “This is one of the €200bn-worth of PPP infrastructure projects that our teams have identified for the 2018-2021 period in our key markets (US, Australia, Canada and Europe), and highlights our strong position to benefit from the growth of investment in road, rail and social infrastructure globally using the PPP model.”
