(MENAFN) Bombardier Transportation's chief country representative for the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, Mohammed Sarfraaz Ali, announced that the German affiliate of Canada's Bombardier won a USD107 million Dubai contract, reported Arabian Business.
Ali said that the contract covers the design and construction of a 1.5km elevated automated people mover (APM) system for Dubai International Airport that would link the existing Terminal 1 to the new Concourse 4.
The company would supply all of the APM system-wide electrical and mechanical elements, with work expected to finish in 24 months.
