16:35 - 17:05 - Growing the hub: YYC LINK
Synopsis: As part of YYC’s commitment to Grow the Hub, together with our partners we introduced the YYC LINK on 31 October 2016. YYC LINK – an internal transit system unique in the world – is an entirely new way of moving through airports, designed to minimise connecting times between terminals to maximise the time travellers have to enjoy YYC. Our team conceived and designed the system, complete with custom vehicles, a dedicated right of way and custom passenger stations. This presentation will focus on the development, implementation and operation of passenger-related infrastructure, and how it impacts the passenger experience at YYC.
