The Madrid Barajas Airport People Mover is the first driverless transit system in Spain and the longest airport people mover system in Europe began transporting passengers between the new terminal (T4) and a new satellite terminal (T4S) of the Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport in Madrid.
Deploying the CITYFLO 550 automatic train control technology, the system is the only mode of transportation for passengers between the two terminals, which are spaced more than two kilometres apart. Bombardier became the only contractor for the complete underground shuttle system, including the construction of the civil works, operation and maintenance of the system.[2]
