Tampa International Airport

Introduction

Tampa International Airport (IATA: TPA, ICAO: KTPA, FAA LID: TPA) is located around 11 kilometres from Tampa's CBD. A few dozen of airlines serve the airport, mainly on domestic routes, but there are a few interesting alternatives on international routes, like the one to London Gatwick Airport.

Getting around

There is a landslide terminal, connecting into 4 satellite airside terminals. Each airside is connected to the Landside Terminal via an elevated automated people mover (APM) system which employs 16 Bombardier CX-100 Shuttle Cars. TPA was the first airport in the world to deploy a fully automated, driverless people mover system and is host to Bombardier Transportation's longest-running APM system.
There is a monorail circling the long term parking garage and connects to the short term parking garage via an elevated bridge to stop at four additional stations. The monorail is free to use and runs twenty-four hours a day except for a once-a-week maintenance shut-down in the overnight hours.
