It opened in 1994 to connect Terminal 3, now the Main Terminal, with Concourses A and B. The system was constructed by and was originally under the operation of Delta Air Lines. HistoryIn 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 using its "Hovair" hovertrain technology, 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. In 2010, after Delta cut back on flights, the train skipped Concourse A station, and went between Terminal 3 (now the Main Terminal) and Concourse B. Since Concourse A reopened and Terminal 2 was closed in 2012, the train makes 3 stops: Main Terminal (Terminal 3), Concourse A and Concourse B round-trip.[1] Today, the train handles up to 500 round trips. Trains departs every 90 seconds.[3] References1. ^1 2 {{cite news | last =Kreimer | first =Peggy | coauthors = | title =New shuttle zooms into action to connect Delta concourses | work =The Cincinnati Post | pages =14A | date =June 10, 1994 }} {{North American airport people movers}}2. ^1 {{cite news | last =Rawe | first =Dick | coauthors = | title =Otis to build Delta underground train | work =The Cincinnati Post | pages =6B | date =1991-09-17 }} 3. ^{{cite web| url = http://www.cvgairport.com/About_Us/Fun__and__Educational/Fast_Facts.html| title = Fast Facts: Going the Distance| accessdate = 2008-10-18| author = Kenton County Airport Board}} 6 : Passenger rail transportation in Cincinnati|Passenger rail transportation in Kentucky|Airport people mover systems in the United States|Hovair people movers|Railway lines opened in 1994|Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport |
