Leinfelden-Echterdingen/Neu-Ulm/Mindelheim. Allgäu Airport Express GmbH is renewing its Setra fleet with three new S 519 HD. The seven three-axle ComfortClass coaches now provide a shuttle service up to 15 times a day between the terminal at Memmingen Airport and Seidlstraße at Munich Central Station. With the orange-coloured shuttle coaches, which are equipped with 69 seats, the company is able to meet the ever-growing demand of passengers for a fast connection from the Allgäu region to the Bavarian capital – reliably, comfortably and safely.  

The vehicles have Active Drive Assist 2 (ADA 2) on board, among other things. For the first time, the system enables semi-automated driving in a coach and keeps the vehicle in lane when side lane markings are detected by actively intervening in the steering.

The new vehicles are owned by Allgäu Airport Express GmbH in Mindelheim, a wholly owned subsidiary of Steber-Tours GmbH, which founded the express service in 2010 and has gradually expanded since then. The Allgäu-based family company cooperates with the Munich-based bus company Dubova Reisen e.K., which has also put two new S 519 HD vehicles into service as part of the cooperation.
