DESCRIPTION Skymetro is a driverless people mover which operates since 2003 at Zurich International Airport, connecting Airside Center with Dock E (1 km, with 2 single way tunnels). This innovative automated cable system is based on vehicles running over concrete levigated surfaces, levitating on a thin air cushion (0.2 mm).
