Bombardier Transportation has signed a seven-year contract with the City and County of Denver, Department of Aviation (CCD), to operate and maintain the BOMBARDIER INNOVIA APM 100 automated people mover system at Denver International Airport (DIA) in Denver, Colorado, from 2011 to 2017. The contract is valued at approximately $101 million US (77 million euro).
The new contract follows over fifteen years of successful cooperation between Bombardier and CCD. The INNOVIA APM 100 system is an integral part of the airport's operations and it first opened for passenger services with inauguration of the new airport in 1995.
Commenting on the contract award, Eran Gartner, President, Systems Division, Bombardier Transportation, said: "Our experienced Service Delivery team provide a dependable service and contribute to the seamless operations at the Denver International Airport." He added: "We are looking forward to continuing our excellent relationship with our customer, the City and County of Denver's Department of Aviation, and our focus now is to maintain our high performance levels and to continuously improve our service to add economic value and contribute to environmental sustainability."
Confirming a growing trend towards longer-term collaboration between Bombardier and the transit system asset owners, CCD has become the third organization this year to prolong Operation and Maintenance (O&M) services with Bombardier for an INNOVIA automated people mover system (Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and Frankfurt Airport also extended their O&M services with Bombardier during 2010). |
