The airport currently serves more than 45 million passengers, and this is expected to grow to up to 86 million passengers per year with the opening of Terminal 3. The mass transit system will provide access to the terminal for both current and future passengers.
Earlier this year, the target date to complete the terminal was pushed back from 2020 to 2023, with the opening scheduled for 2024, but those dates no longer look feasible.
Siemens will provide the signalling system, which will include CBTC to allow automatic train operation (ATO). Two stations, with an option for a third, will be equipped along with 20 trains. The first station will be commissioned in September 2022 while the second is planned for June 2024.

BES Engineering will provide the power supply system.
