The Airport Express Line (AEL) metro trains’ operational speed has been increased from 100 KMPH to 110 KMPH. After receiving the required approval from the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS), the Delhi Metro decided to enhance the train speed on the 23-kilometre metro line. It links New Delhi to Dwarka Sec-21 through IGI Airport. Here are the details of DMRC’s decision to increase the speed of Airport Express.
Now, Delhiites Can Reach IGI Airport In Just 16 Mins!
In a post shared by the DMRC, they stated that the Airport Line Express will have an increased speed. After receiving the necessary approval from the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety, the operational speed of the 23 Km-long Airport Express Line will be increased. The speed will be changed from 100 KMPH to 110 KMPH as of June 22, 2023.

Passengers may now travel from New Delhi to the airport (T-3) in about 16 minutes thanks to the operating speed boost to 110 KMPH. With the increase in speed, Rajiv Chowk in the city’s hub is now reachable from the airport in just 15 minutes.
This Is Beneficial For Commuters
After the current increment, the entire travel time from New Delhi to the Dwarka Sec-21 Metro station will be about 20 minutes. After the eventual implementation of the 120 KMPH maximum speed limit in the following days, the overall travel time on the entire AEL will be cut to just 19 minutes.
This accomplishment not only demonstrates DMRC’s dedication to efficiency and innovation. However, it also has great news for travellers heading to the airport. Commuters have a practical and affordable choice, thanks to the combination of high-speed transport, and easy connectivity to the airport.
Additionally, locating parking places and paying excessive parking fees are challenges that passengers frequently encounter.
