Frankfurt Airport: Train reduces transfer distances

The new “Sky Line” train saves around 15 minutes travel time for transit passengers of Lufthansa & Co.

The new Station C in Terminal 1 of the Frankfurt Airport connects Area C in the eastern part of the terminal with the other gates. Airline passengers can board and disembark here, thereby reaching their connecting flights much faster. In particular, passengers with Lufthansa and other Star Alliance airlines will be able to save around 15 minutes. The system consists of nine autonomously driving, electrically operated trains with two cars each. The trains travel nearly 80,000 kilometers per month and transport almost 800,000 passengers in this time.
