Skylink is an automated people mover (APM) system operating at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). It is an application of the Innovia APM 200 system and is maintained and operated by Alstom. When it opened in 2005, it was the world's longest airside airport train system (AirTrain JFK, which operates landside, is longer).[3]
