Atlanta airport shutting down plane train this weekend

ATLANTA — If you're heading to the Atlanta airport to catch a flight this weekend, there's a chance you'll have to walk to get to your terminal.

The airport will undergo upgrades to its track switches, which will suspend the plane train in its entirety from Saturday at 11:30 p.m. to Sunday at 4 a.m. Airport officials said this will impact travelers on late inbound and early outbound flights, as well as employees trying to get to different terminals.

The plane train is being shut down completely during that time to "support the refurbishment of the plane train's switches, which will be wired and transferred to the current system," according to an airport spokesperson.

There will be 16 customer service representatives stationed along the different plane train terminals to help direct customers to their correct gate or destination.
