“CMSI has provided over a decade of proven and successful services for these safe and reliable APMs, contributing to the satisfaction of our airport clients through ensuring the highest levels of passenger service while meeting mandatory 24 hours per day, seven days per week operational requirements.”

In 1999, Sumitomo Corporation of Americas and MHI Group secured the contract to build Skytrain, connecting four stations over a distance of around 1.1km.

The APM system became operational in 2010, and since then, CMSI has provided O&M services to the system.

At present, five four-car trainsets are in service.
