The contract is valued at approximately $101 million.
The INNOVIA APM 100 system first opened for passenger services with inauguration of the new airport in 1995.
Said Eran Gartner, president, Systems Division, Bombardier Transportation, “Our experienced Service Delivery team provide a dependable service and contribute to the seamless operations at the Denver International Airport.” He added, “We are looking forward to continuing our excellent relationship with our customer, the City and County of Denver’s Department of Aviation, and our focus now is to maintain our high performance levels and to continuously improve our service to add economic value and contribute to environmental sustainability.”

Bombardier has been providing O&M services at DIA since 1994, and says it has “consistently exceeded the contract availability of 99.65%.” The dual lane INNOVIA APM 100 system opened in 1995 with 16 vehicles.
