NEWARK, N.J. — Alstom has signed a seven-year contract to operate and maintain the AirTrain system at Newark Liberty International Airport, the company announced Thursday.
The deal with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and the airport, valued at about $265 million (announced as €240 million by Alstom), runs through January 2030 and includes an option for an additional year.
