Airports that use Bombardier Trains

I was in three airports that have used Bombardier trains as the interterminal links.  From what I read they are state of the art in what they make.  Maybe not the only game in people moving, but the fact that Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, and Atlanta use them which are busy airports and used by millions each year make me wonder that they are the king in transport on off commuter routes.

I was wondering what other airports in the world use Bombardier trains? I thought that these trains are very interesting and have a lot to warrant discussion on as some of us here are railfans and love other things besides roads.  If someone knows of flaws, such as local closures or have great experiences in their own local airports I would like to hear from you.  Even if you think other manufactures measure up or if you know if something soon is going to replace the Bombardier trains soon this is the place.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

MSP has two trams, one of which is inside the security cordon running from Concourse A to near Concourse D.  Both are technically automated people-movers (no human drivers) and use rolling stock from a Poma-Otis conglomeration (Poma and Otis are separate companies).

I know Orlando (MCO) uses Bombardier trains.

If you want to see a cool new people mover technology, London Heathrow has a parking lot that uses on-demand personal pods to provide access to/from T5:

Seattle-Tacoma's underground system has used APM 100s since 2003.
