The Cincinnati Airport People Mover or Underground Train consists of an automated people mover that serves travelers of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. Opened in 1994 to connect Terminal 3 with Concourses A and B, the system was constructed and is under the operation of Delta Air Lines.

History

In September 1991, Delta Air Lines announced that a people mover system would be installed to connect their terminals as part of a major expansion undertaken in the early to mid 1990s.[2] The system was originally announced as consisting of a pair of passenger trains, consisting of three cars seating a maximum of 71 passengers apiece for a total of 213 passengers per train. Constructed and installed by Otis, at the time of its construction this $16.7 million facility was only the sixth of its kind installed by Otis throughout the world.[2] The train would be inaugurated on following a dedication ceremony on June 9, 1994.[1] Today one of the two trains has been shut down. The train skips the Concourse A Station, and handles up to 500 round trips. The Train to Concourse B or Terminal 3 departs every 90 seconds. [3]

Future

In the summer of 2012, the airport has plans to close Terminal 2 and move airlines housed there to Concourse A. This will cause all operations to be consolidated into one departures/arrivals terminal, and one security checkpoint. It will cost $31 million, and will allow for expansion for current carriers and growth for possible additional carriers, as well as reduce airport costs. As Concourse A is reactivated, the concourse A station will be reopened as well.
