A dedicated airport train exclusively for air passengers could become a reality by March 2021. Electrification of the railway line linking the new halt station at Kempegowda International Airport with the city will enable this, making it a potential game-changer.
Ready to be commissioned within the next few weeks, the KIA halt station will initially benefit the over 28,000 airport employees once passenger trains resume operation. But the real shift in airport connectivity from road to rail for air passengers is likely once the line is electrified and MEMU (Mainline Electric Multiple Unit) trains begin operation on the track.
