Frankfurt Airport Sky Line back in service with nightly shutdowns

The Sky Line people-mover at Frankfurt Airport is back in service after technical checks and software fixes, but it still stops every night from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. During that window, buses again handle transfers between Terminals 1, 2 and 3.

Fraport and Siemens Mobility have restored operation with up to eight vehicles running at a maximum speed of 50 km/h. Shuttle buses that covered the outage have been withdrawn, while the airport keeps monitoring the system and may make further adjustments.

The partial restart restores a core transfer link at one of Europe’s busiest hubs, but the overnight restriction leaves capacity constrained for now.
