Dubai is planning a major upgrade to its transport network with a proposed 55-kilometre Airport Express Metro Line connecting Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC).

According to reports, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has invited consultants to bid for a contract to study and design the new line, marking a significant step toward improving airport connectivity across the emirate.

Direct airport-to-airport link

The proposed Airport Express Line would run from the existing Red Line station at DXB, pass through key areas such as Al Jaddaf and Al Khail Road, and include a new station at Jumeirah Village Circle before reaching DWC in Jebel Ali.

  • Total length: 55km
  • Planned stations: 5 major stops
  • Two additional branch lines connecting to Business Bay and other key districts

Passengers could benefit from enhanced travel features, including:

  • Remote airline check-in
