Rail Transport in Queensland - Airtrain

Airtrain

The first Brisbane Airport rail line, named Airtrain, officially opened to passengers in May 2001. Under a BOOT scheme - build, own, operate and transfer - the Queensland Government licensed Airtrain Citylink to build the rail line, to own and operate it, and hand the entire infrastructure over to the Queensland Government after 35 years when the company will then cease to exist. Airtrain Citylink contracted Transfield Services to build, operate and maintain the line and finally Airtrain Citylink contracted QR to provide rolling stock for the rail line.
