Otis to Modernise 29 Escalators for Stockholm’s Airport Rail Link

Otis has secured a contract to modernize 29 escalators for A-Train AB, the operator of the Arlanda Express, which connects Stockholm’s city centre to Arlanda Airport. Otis Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: OTIS) is the global leader in the manufacture, installation and servicing of elevators and escalators.

The project, starting in September 2025, will upgrade the 30-year-old escalators, which were originally installed by Otis in the 1990s. The modernization will include replacing motors, the steps and the interconnected chains which move the steps, and electrical wiring, alongside improvements to meet the latest safety standards.

Otis' proposal for extensive modernization – rather than complete replacement – was chosen as the best and most sustainable option and will minimize disruption for around five million passengers who use the Arlanda Line annually.

“I’m delighted the team was able to demonstrate Otis’ solutions and expertise in modernizing essential transport infrastructure as the best option for these transit escalators,” said Wesley Steels, Managing Director Nordics. “We look forward to helping deliver safe and smooth journeys for everyone taking Arlanda Airport’s train links.”

Speaking on behalf of A-Train AB, Project Manager Tobias Sjölund added: "Moving forward with this very complex and sensitive modernization project, we at Arlanda Express feel confident that Otis’ experience and know-how will keep us on track throughout the entire journey."
