The $84m contract, awarded by the Clark County Department of Aviation, also includes the provision of system upgrades. Alstom anticipates completion of the work by the end of 2027
The project will provide a better experience for passengers and employees in a time of increased demand at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), which set a new record for flyers in 2023, with 57.6 million passengers travelling through the airport.
“Alstom’s partnership with the 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,” said Michael Keroullé, Alstom Americas President. “Our strategic upgrades and delivery of the Innovia APM R cars will minimise environmental impact and elevate the travel experience for millions of riders.”
Alstom’s responsibility includes the design, engineering, supply, integration, testing, and commissioning of a full system upgrade of Las Vegas International Airport People Mover’s Green Line and Blue Line.
Among the benefits of the Innovia APM vehicles are greater energy efficiency, higher top speed, and a lightweight aluminium vehicle frame that will continue to meet the ever-increasing industry standards for safety and sustainability. The vehicles will be manufactured in the United States.
In addition to the delivery of the ten new Innovia APM R cars, Alstom will lead upgrades of the Urbalis Flo signalling systems – including a replacement of the Central Control ATS system with the latest Ebi Screen 2000 and upgrades to the telecommunications systems. The contract also includes the integration of a system-level cybersecurity solution.
