Orlando International Airport People Movers

The four currently operating systems connect the main terminal with the airside concourses.[1] The west two lines (Airsides 1 and 3) opened with the airport terminal in 1981. Airside 4 and its line were built later in 1990, and Airside 2 and its line began operation in 2000. The airside systems are similar to the Tampa International Airport People Movers.

Each line consists of two guideways that carry a three-car train each. The trains shuttle back and forth between the terminal and their respective airsides. The stations at the main terminal and the airsides use the Spanish solution: passengers board on an island platform between the two guideways and disembark on side platforms.

Since Airside 4 is the primary concourse for international flights, its system is set up so that when international flights arrive, terminal-bound passengers are not “secure”, while airside-bound passengers have gone through security screening. Only one set of doors are open at a time, and trains receive a security inspection before boarding secure departing passengers to the airside. This eliminates the need for international arriving passengers to go through additional security screening before heading to the main terminal.[2]

Currently, only Airside 2 and 4 systems use Bombardier Innovia APM 100 vehicles. Airside 1 and 3 system's Adtranz, later purchased by Bombardier, vehicles were replaced with Mitsubishi Crystal Mover vehicles in 2017.[3] Airsides 2 and 4's vehicles are not being replaced since those systems were built much later.[4]

A fifth line was recently installed to connect the main terminal with the airport's Intermodal Terminal, which opened in late 2017. The Intermodal Terminal includes additional parking as well as a rail station for future use by Virgin Trains USA and SunRail. This line also uses Mitsubishi Crystal Movers, although they heavily differ in appearance than those used for Airsides 1 and 3.[5]
