"The trains are flying on the track at MCO," according to officials at Orlando International airport.
Six cars for the South Airport Automated People Mover (APM) system arrived in Orlando Wednesday. They were assembled in Japan and shipped to Jacksonville.
A heavy crane lifted each car onto a 1.4 mile guideway that runs between the existing North Terminal Complex and the South Airport APM Complex, still under construction.
The trains will undergo months of thorough testing.
"When the system becomes operational in the Summer of 2017, it will increase MCO’s capacity by connecting the Main Terminal and the South Airport Complex, which will offer travelers increased parking and check-in options along with future access to multiple rail choices," said airport officials.
