Alstom recently bolstered its 30-year partnership with Denver International Airport by introducing new Innovia APM R vehicles in July 2024.

These vehicles, produced by Alstom, have enhanced the capacity and comfort for airport commuters, according to the company.

The driverless Innovia APM is tailored to offer rapid service within airports and urban settings. The Innovia APMs have served more than 525 million passengers across 16 airports nationwide.

Alstom Americas president Michael Keroullé said: “Alstom is proud to be Denver International Airport’s partner of choice as they continue on their journey to modernise and expand air train service at one of the busiest airports in the world.

“Our expertise in the operations and maintenance of automated people movers allows us to deliver frequent, safe and comfortable service for travellers from around the world.”

Recently, Alstom extended its partnership with Saudi Railway Company (SRC) through a new five-year technical support and spare parts supply agreement worth SAR300m ($79.8m), focused on improving the east-west freight corridor.
