SkyLine is a free automatic people mover system at Frankfurt Airport which opened 1994. Using Bombardier CX-100 coaches, the line links the two airport terminals within 8 minutes.

The line has a headway from 90 seconds. The 60 million annual passengers of the airport and its 75,000 employees generate an annual traffic of 10 million journeys on Skyline.

Stations

[edit]

The original SkyLine route serves four stations:[1]

The future SkyLine route will also serve four stations:

  • Terminal 1 (access to buses, long-distance train station and regional train station)
  • Terminal 1, Concourse C (future infill station)
  • Terminal 2
  • Terminal 3

When the future SkyLine route opens, there will be a direct connection between the two lines at Terminal 2 station, with a second connection at Terminal 1, Concourse C expected to be added in the future.
