【速報】Pudong APM

The largest single satellite terminal in the world... and the newest. Two of them are now in Shanghai's Pudong Airport, with two separate APM lines linking them to the previously established terminals T1 and T2.

Two APM lines inside the Pudong Int'l Aiport are announced to be opened on the 16th September. Once opened, Pudong will become the first airport to be equipped with a steel-wheeled airside transit system.

It is operated by 4 car automated trains shuttling every 5 minutes in a 2'30'' journey.



Checking in at this airport can get more than tricky here: Passengers with the letter G or H on the boarding pass need to take the train to the satellite terminal for their flights after the security check, whereas passengers arriving at the satellite terminals will have to be transported to the main terminal for their luaggage claim.

First stop after arriving at the satellite terminal. 

You can immagine how your suitcases are being transported to the caroussel by pipelines like us.


"MRT" on the panel is misleading, if not erroneous at all.



Very spacious, yet very few seats.

Doors in doors. (3x)


And of course, you know what to expect —— my official confirmations.
