The upcoming 2.3-km Aerocity–Terminal 1 corridor will improve metro connectivity around IGI Airport. As an extension of the Golden Line, it will provide a direct rail link between key airport areas and make travel within the airport network more convenient.(FILE PHOTO)
The new corridor will transform Terminal 1 into an interchange station by connecting it with the Magenta Line. This will allow passengers to switch between metro routes more easily and access different parts of Delhi’s transport network. (FILE PHOTO)
Aerocity’s importance as a transport hub will grow through the integration of the Airport Express Line, the Golden Line and the proposed Delhi-SNB-Alwar RRTS corridor. The project aims to improve connectivity across Delhi and the wider NCR region.(FILE PHOTO)
Currently, passengers travelling between Terminal 1 and other airport terminals depend on shuttle buses operating at intervals of around 20 minutes. The new metro corridor will provide a direct alternative, making transfers within the airport faster and more convenient.(FILE PHOTO)
The Golden Line and the proposed RRTS corridor will intersect near Aerocity. Officials said structural provisions for a future Namo Bharat platform will be included in the station design, allowing seamless integration when the corridor is developed.(FILE PHOTO)
To manage passenger transfers efficiently, the new Aerocity station on the Golden Line will be around 290 metres long. This is significantly larger than a typical interchange station and is designed to handle high commuter volumes.(Photo credit: AI)
The Aerocity–Terminal 1 corridor is expected to be completed by late 2028. Built entirely underground due to security requirements near the airport, the project is part of the Phase V(A) metro expansion plan for Delhi.(Image used for representative purpose only)
