Skytrain (MIA)

The Skytrain is an automated people mover system operating at Miami International Airport. It operates within the airport's Concourse D, which is a major international hub for American Airlines. The system, which opened in 2010 as part of an expansion of Concourse D, can transport passengers from end to end of the mile long concourse in five minutes. The Skytrain is one of three separate automated people movers operating at the airport. The others are the MIA Mover which connects to the Miami Intermodal Center, and the people mover connecting Concourse E's satellite building.

System

The Skytrain's infrastructure, including its track and stations, are located on top of Concourse D. The system serves four stations, which are located at Gates D17, D24, D29 and D46. The system's vehicles, which are used in four-car trains, are Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Crystal Movers (The same model also operates on the MIA Mover). Two cars on the trains carry domestic passengers throughout the concourse, while the other two are used to transport incoming international passengers who have not yet cleared border customs to the Concourse D Immigration and Customs Facility. This is accomplished by having the stations set up with two separate boarding lobbies.^[1]
