The Satellite Transit System (STS) has been an integral part of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport for almost 40 years. As the primary means of intra-airport passenger movement, including the only passenger access to the North and South Satellite concourses, the service it provides is key to the airport's past, present and future. This service has and must continue to evolve along with the airport; as the needs of the airport, airlines and passengers grow and change over time, so must the STS and its capabilities and amenities. As the Port of Seattle begins work on STS upgrades related to a new landside FIS facility and future expansion of concourses, current technology offers a range of potential advantages. This paper examines key points in the system's history, along with challenges and opportunities for its and the airport's future. Key planning areas include the location of a new landside FIS facility and how it impacts the South Loop, future expansion of concourses with the need for an APM connection, Alaska's upcoming consolidation at the North Satellite and its future expansion, connecting passengers, and the anticipated need for a landside CONRAC connection.
