Work Detail Alstom and Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) singed a contract extension to provide operations and maintenance services for JFK International Airport’s AirTrain system for the next seven years. The contract extension is valued at approximately USD 518 million and includes an option for three additional years. Under the agreement, Alstom will be responsible for ensuring the AirTrain system is running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and for maintaining the vehicle fleet, station doors, guideways, power distribution systems, car wash, signalling system and facilities. The fleet is composed of 32 automated light metro trains, which range in size from one to four cars based on passenger demand, serving nine stations. The JFK AirTrain system is a crucial part of reducing traffic congestion around the airport. It connects all passenger terminals to airport parking lots, the hotel shuttle pick-up area, the rental car center, and NYC’s public transport network at Jamaica and Howard Beach stations, where passengers and airport employees can connect with the subway, the Long Island Railroad, and public buses. Last year, nearly 25 million passengers used the JFK AirTrain, with an average daily ridership of more than 68,000 travellers and airport employees. To accommodate the high passenger volumes, the system operates 24/7, 365 days a year, and Alstom’s operations and maintenance teams ensure high performance, delivering an average system availability of 98.56% in 2024. Full automation of the system provides improved safety, high reliability, higher capacity with shorter headways between trains, and lower maintenance costs. The project will retain over 230 employees, including 59 customer service agents to provide assistance to passengers. “Since 2003, our industry-leading airport system has safely and reliably transported millions of travellers and employees between terminals. As JFK’s partner of choice, Alstom is excited to support the modernisation and expansion of AirTrain service at one of the world’s busiest airports,” Michael Keroullé, the President of Alstom Americas, said.
