**PHOENIX, AZ —** Travelers at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport are experiencing a transportation revolution, thanks to the innovative **PHX Sky Train** — a free, fully electric people mover that is changing the way passengers navigate the airport.
Operating 24/7, the PHX Sky Train connects all three airport terminals, the Rental Car Center, and even the Valley Metro Light Rail, eliminating the need for shuttles and reducing traffic congestion. But what’s capturing global attention is the train’s engineering marvel: the **world’s first transit bridge over an active taxiway**. The elevated track allows large aircraft like the **Boeing 747** and **Airbus A380** to pass beneath it, making it a rare feat of modern airport design.
Airport officials tout the Sky Train as a symbol of Phoenix’s commitment to **efficiency, sustainability, and innovation**. “It’s more than just a train,” said Chad Makovsky, Director of Aviation Services for the City of Phoenix. “It’s a seamless connection between ground and air travel, built with the future in mind.”
The system also enhances accessibility with elevators, escalators, and real-time flight information at every station — making PHX one of the most convenient airports for connecting flights in the U.S.
As other airports around the world take note, Sky Harbor’s PHX Sky Train continues to raise the bar for what travelers can expect from a modern airport experience.
