MHIA received the APM order from the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority (HCAA) in November 2014, and completed the project ahead of its contractual schedule and within budget. MHIA was responsible for the integration of the entire APM system, including installation work. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engineering, Ltd. (MHIENG) provided the core design and supplied 12 APM cars, a maintenance vehicle and signaling system. SkyConnect is the eighth APM system delivered by MHIA in the US market, following previous successful APM projects at major airports in Orlando, Miami, Washington and Atlanta. "With the dedication of our team and the close partnership with the Airport, we opened this system ahead of our contractual schedule, and with record breaking performance," said Darin Friedmann, Vice President and General Manager of MHIA's Transportation Systems Division.
