Extending the tunnel for Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport’s Plane Train, the airport’s automated people mover, is a juggling act of intense coordination among stakeholders, requiring careful navigating of underground foundations and utilities supporting the world’s busiest airport.
The 700-ft-long extension with a 133-ft spur is 60 ft underneath the airport’s domestic baggage claim station. It will increase the Plane Train’s efficiency by as much as 20%.
