No plan to have 24X7 services on Airport Link

The Delhi Metro does not plan to operate overnight trains on its Airport Line, a proposal which was floated last year, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) chief Mangu Singh said. The DMRC had conducted a survey last year to assess the feasibility of running trains beyond midnight, which was primarily aimed to serve passengers going abroad. “We do not plan to operate trains overnight at this point. In any case, even presently we get only few hours at night for maintenance and related works,” Singh said, when asked about the status of the plan. At present, trains operate between 4.45 am and 11.40 pm on the 23-km-long corridor, also known as the Orange Line.
