Definitions of AIRTRAM in various dictionaries:

AirTrain JFK is an 8.1-mile-long (13 km) elevated people mover system serving the John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, New York, United States. The system, which operates 24/7 service, consists of three lines and ten stations. It connects the airport's six terminals with the New York City Subway and the Long Island Rail Road in Howard Beach and Jamaica. Bombardier Transportation operates AirTrain JFK under contract with the airport's owner, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. A railroad link to JFK Airport was proposed in 1968 as part of the Program for Action, a wide-ranging proposal to improve transit in the New York metropolitan area. Such a link was not actually constructed for almost three decades because of a lack of funding. From the 1970s to the early 1990s, various plans surfaced to build the JFK Airport railroad line. Meanwhile, the JFK Express subway service and shuttle buses provided an unpopular transport system to and around JFK. In-depth planning for a dedicated transport system at JFK began in 1990. An environmental impact statement for a JFK light-rail system was released in 1997, and construction of the current people-mover system began a year later. During construction, AirTrain JFK encountered several lawsuits, as well as a death during one of the system's test runs. AirTrain JFK opened on December 17, 2003, after several delays. AirTrain charges a $5 fare for all passengers entering or exiting at either Jamaica or Howard Beach, though passengers traveling within the airport can ride the system for free. The system was originally projected to carry 4 million annual paying passengers and 8.4 million annual inter-terminal passengers every year. However, AirTrain has consistently exceeded ridership projections since opening, and in 2014, the system had 6.4 million paying passengers and 10 million inter-terminal passengers.
