Frankfurt Airport has now opened Sky Line people-mover system at Concourse C to create more comfort and shorten walking times for transfer passengers, following a €24 million investment.
Transfer passengers who depart from or arrive at this concourse can use the Sky Line train to quickly and comfortably shuttle to other parts of the terminals. For example, transfer passengers arriving in Concourse C will save up to 15 minutes to reach a connecting flight in Concourse A. The shuttle trains are accessed from the non-Schengen part of Concourse C, meaning that passengers with an onward non-Schengen flight will not even have to clear immigration when using the Sky Line.
Fraport AG’s Executive Board Member and COO, Anke Giesen, says: “A very efficient and highly reliable transport system, the Sky Line has now been further enhanced by the additional station at Concourse C of Terminal 1. This investment into existing airport infrastructure is part of our strategy to further improve the travel experience for transfer passengers and strengthen Frankfurt Airport’s function as a hub airport.”
Passengers of Lufthansa and other Star Alliance airlines, in particular, will benefit from the new Sky Line station at the C Concourse. The majority of flights that depart from or arrive at this concourse are operated by Lufhansa and its partner airlines. Typically, these flights also have a high share of transfer passengers. Fraport has invested a total of €24 million for building the new station, which supplements and enhances the airport’s existing infrastructure.
