PHX Sky Train via Phoenix METRO Light Rail

The PHX Sky Train is an electric powered people mover which opened on April 2013 at Sky Harbor International Airport. Sky Train features a 100-foot tall bridge over Taxiway R, which is the first location in the world where a train passes over an airplane on an active taxiway. The bridge is tall enough to accommodate a Boeing 747. Three months after opening, the train is carrying about 70,000 people per week, which is 40% higher than estimated. The system is designed to carry 3,300 passengers per hour per direction. It operates 24-hours a day and averages a speed of 23 mph. The completed Phase I connects Metro Light Rail at 44th Street and Washington Street with Terminal 4 and the East Economy Parking Lot. The next phase, currently under construction, includes a connection to Terminals 3 and 2. A planned future phase will connect to the Airport’s Rental Car Center. To reduce curbside congestion, baggage check-in and boarding pass printing is available at the Sky Train Stations at 44th Street/ Washington Street and East Economy Parking Lot. A pet area for traveling animals was also built at each of these stations. The Sky Train 44th Street Station also features 8 bicycle lockers and 16 bike racks.
