About Airport (T-3) metro station
The Airport Express Line station at Indira Gandhi International Airport was inaugurated on 23 February 2011. DMRC calls it Airport (T-3) and describes it as an underground station on the line it also refers to as the Orange Line, linking Terminals 3 and 2 with central New Delhi and the railway station in 18 minutes. It sits between Delhi Aerocity and Dwarka Sector 21; trains in the outward direction continue to Yashobhoomi Dwarka Sector 25, and inward trains run towards New Delhi.
There is no conventional street gate list. DMRC simply says that several entries connect the terminal building to the station, and Terminal 3 itself is given as 28 metres away. For tickets, journey times and how the line differs from the rest of the network, see our Airport Express guide.
First and last metro at Airport (T-3)
Departure times from this station on a weekday, as DMRC’s journey planner gives them (checked on Tuesday 20 October 2026; the planner takes no date). DMRC does not publish separate Saturday, Sunday or holiday times for each station, and on special days it announces changes in advance. A last train after midnight belongs to the previous evening’s service. “Not published” means DMRC’s own answer was inconsistent (arrival before departure), so we leave it out.
