Wing Shuttle

The Wing Shuttle (ウイングシャトル, Uingu Shatoru?) is a people mover system at Kansai International Airport in Osaka, Japan. The system opened on September 4, 1994, with the opening of the airport itself. The driverless people mover lines link the main terminal building and the tips of two wings. All the stations are equipped with platform screen doors. Unlike the wheel-less Terminal 2 Shuttle System in Narita International Airport, the system in Kansai is a conventional people mover with wheels. Cars operate roughly once every 2 minutes and each route is 545m long.

Famous quotes containing the words wing and/or shuttle:

    Ignorance is the curse of God,
    Knowledge the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    And the shuttle never falters, but to draw an encouraging conclusion
    From this would be considerable, too odd. Why not just
    Breathe in with the courage of each day, recognizing yourself as one
    Who must with difficulty get down from high places?
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
