Alstom has received an operation and maintenance services order worth about €250m from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and Newark Liberty International Airport in the US.
Under the contract, Alstom will offer operations and maintenance services for its Innovia monorail system, called AirTrain Newark, until January 2030.
The contract also has an option for a further one year.
Scope of the contract includes the delivery of operations and dispatching, as well as maintenance of the vehicle fleet, station doors, guideways, power distribution systems, car wash, signalling system and facilities.
The fleet comprises five Innovia monorail trains with six cars each. They are serving six stations, including the new Terminal A, along around three miles of the elevated guideway.
Besides operating between the airport’s terminals, the system also helps link the airport with rental car facilities, hotel shuttles and central parking lots as well as with other transit systems and services including New Jersey Transit and Amtrak.
