Klamcy Solorzano, executive coordinator of the AeroMetro System on behalf of the Municipality of Guatemala, explained that the seasons 4 (Clover 1) and 5 (Clover 2) They will be motor stations, that is, those responsible for housing the system that drives the movement of the cabins.
“The largest stations are the El Trébol Complex stations,” he indicated.
On the other hand, Solórzano explained that, in a later stage, a bridge will be built that will connect the station 4 with the station 5corresponding to the AeroMetro Line 2which will unite The Clover with Flower Mill, Mixco. From that point it will also be possible to link to the Line 12 of the Transmetro.
The largest AeroMetro station
The station 4located in the El Trébol Complex, will have approximately 2 thousand 200 square metersalmost four times the area planned for the Plaza España station, whose platform will be 550 square meters.
The building will have three levelseach with specific functions.
In it first level An open public plaza will be built for residents to coexist, as well as security offices and the main power plant that will guarantee the operation of the system.
He second level It will house administrative offices, a cultural space for community activities and the offices of the Doppelmayr company, responsible for the cable car technology, as well as supervisory personnel from the Municipality of Guatemala.
In it third level The passenger boarding and disembarkation station will be located, in addition to the garage where they will remain protected. 135 cabins of Line 1 when they are not in operation.
The main connection point between the AeroMetro and the Transmetro
The Municipality highlighted that the El Trébol Complex will be the main connection center of the system.

From the station 4users will be able to transfer to the AeroMetro Line 2 to continue your journey towards Flower Mill, Mixcoor link with the Line 12 of the Transmetroall without leaving the El Trébol Complex. However, users must ppay the corresponding fare for each line or transportation system they use.
For the Municipality of Guatemala, this integration seeks streamline mobility between Guatemala City and Mixco, in addition to providing greater security by concentrating connections between the different transport systems at a single point.
However, Solórzano clarified that this integration will develop as the construction of the second line progresses.
It will have its own power plant
Unlike the intermediate stations, which will only have emergency plants, stations 4 and 5 will have a permanent power plant because they are power stations.

These are the five construction phases of station 4
Currently, work on the El Trébol Complex is concentrated on the first phase of construction, which includes excavations, foundations, footings and columns.
The Municipality foresees that, In the coming months, the El Trébol Complex will begin to show visible changes with the installation of the roofs and structures that will support the urban cable car system.
As explained Klamcy Solorzanothe station 4located in the El Trébol Complex will continue the same five phases of construction than the rest of the AeroMetro stations. However, he detailed the specific schedule for this station.
| Phase | Jobs | Expected date |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Engineering works | Excavations, piles, footings, columns and structure | Running until August 2026 |
| 2. Electromechanical system | Installation of engines, wheels, roof and equipment | August – mid November 2026 |
| 3. Construction of the station | Walls, mezzanines, platforms, facades and finishes | Since mid November 2026 |
| 4. Cable assembly | Cable installation and splices | January 2027 |
| 5. Complementary works | Finishes, equipment and urbanization | February – April 2027 |
With this design, the El Trébol Complex is emerging as the main connection node of the Aerometerby integrating the two lines of the system and facilitating the connection with the Transmeter.
Finally, Solórzano pointed out that, after carrying out the pilot tests, it is expected that the AeroMetro Line 1 start trading around August 2027.
