One of the quirkier aspects of flying out of Dulles International Airport (IAD) near Washington, D.C., is getting set for a major face-lift.<\/p>\n

Yes, we’re talking about Dulles’ so-called “people movers.” Over the coming years, the airport’s fleet of “mobile lounges” and “plane mates” is getting a multimillion-dollar overhaul. It’s work that, like it or not, should solidify the notorious \u2014 and, dare we say, iconic \u2014 vehicles as part of the airport’s airside transportation picture for years to come.<\/p>\n

This week, Dulles shared a video on social media of a crane hoisting a plane mate in the air, with the “Star Wars”-esque vehicle precariously dangling in the air.<\/p>\n

It was en route to a flatbed truck, which was standing by, out of frame, ready to transport the people mover to Brookville, Pennsylvania, for a two-year renovation.<\/p>\n
