Alstom to Upgrade People Mover System at Las Vegas Airport

The $84 million contract with the Clark County Department of Aviation includes the delivery of ten new Innovia APM cars, upgrades to the airport’s Urbalis Flo signaling system, and the integration of a system-level cybersecurity solution.

Michael Keroullé, president of Alstom Americas, said, “Alstom’s partnership with Harry Reid International Airport spans decades, and we’re proud to continue building on our work to deliver the best in sustainability and efficiency to Las Vegas. Our strategic upgrades and delivery of best-in-class Innovia APM R cars minimize environmental impact and will elevate the travel experience for millions of riders.”

Harry Reid International first received its Innovia APM cars, manufactured by Westinghouse, in 1985 for its newly opened Green Line, followed by additional vehicles for the Blue Line in 1998 and Terminal 3’s Red Line in 2012.

The newest APM R cars are designed for greater energy efficiency, a higher top speed, and a lightweight aluminum frame for improved safety and sustainability.

Alstom’s upgrades will also include replacing the APM network’s Central Control ATS system with the Ebi Screen 2000 solution and upgrading telecommunications systems.

This deal continues Alstom’s success in the airport APM market, following similar upgrades at Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and a modernization project at Dallas Fort Worth Airport in Texas, US.
