A new way to move through Dulles

The AeroTrain will replace most of the current Mobile Lounge system that is used to transport passengers between the Main Terminal and the Midfield Concourses. The train will operate on an underground dual track system.  The AeroTrain will carry passengers between the Main Terminal and the A, B, and C-Gates. The stations are located at convenient points along the concourses to minimize walking distances to the airline gates.  The opening schedule for AeroTrain will be announced after system testing is complete.
