Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engineering, Ltd. received an order for automated people mover (APM) systems from the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority to connect the Main Terminal of Tampa International Airport to the newly built Rental Car Center. This new service line, called "SkyConnect," started operating on 14 February 2018. Tampa International Airport had already introduced APM systems in the 1970s ahead of other countries, to connect the main terminal to the satellite gates.
This report provides a general description of our APM system, which was installed at Tampa International Airport, and its operation and maintenance.
