Emirates Air Lines – Mayor Still not ready to commit to deadline


During testing phase, 700 kg weights are being placed into cabins to replicate 10 passengers. Image by thisislondon.co.uk.

Despite undergoing testing at the moment, a recent interview by ITV News with London Mayor, Boris Johnson, indicates that he is still not willing to guarantee that the cable car project will be ready in time for the Olympics.

However, he did agree that it would be unfortunate should the system be not completed by that time. Who knows, I guess we’ll see and keep our fingers crossed because as of today, there’s only 72 days before the Games start!

Weekly Roundup: A Cable Car Gift For Sarajevo

A couple highlights from around the world of Urban Gondolas, Gondola Transit, and Cable Propelled Transit:

  • While not urban, this is certainly an interesting development: The SkiLink gondola project will link the Canyons and Solitude resorts in Utah. The project is intended solely as a transportation system between the two resorts and is expected to “reduce ski season traffic through Big Cottonwood Canyon by as much as 18,000 cars per year. Initially that means around 1 million fewer miles driven per year.” Should be an interesting one to follow.
