SkyLine is a free automatic people mover system at Frankfurt Airport which opened 1994. Using Bombardier CX-100 coaches, the line links the two airport terminals within 8 minutes.

The line has a headway from 90 seconds. The 60 million annual passengers of the airport and its 75,000 employees generate an annual traffic of 10 million journeys on Skyline.

Stations

The original SkyLine route serves four stations:^[1]

• Terminal 1, Concourse A, Z
• Terminal 1, Concourse B (access to buses, long-distance train station and regional train station)
• Terminal 1, Concourse C (only for non-Schengen passengers)
• Terminal 2

The future SkyLine route will also serve four stations:

• Terminal 1 (access to buses, long-distance train station and regional train station)
• Terminal 1, Concourse C (future infill station)
• Terminal 2
• Terminal 3

When the future SkyLine route opens, there will be a direct connection between the two lines at Terminal 2 station, with a second connection at Terminal 1, Concourse C expected to be added in the future.
