Airport is the terminus of the South Line of the MARTA rail system. This is the second busiest railway station on the MARTA system, handling an average of 13,500 boardings per weekday, after Five Points, which is currently the only transfer station of the MARTA system. The station is elevated above the terminal of the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The station was built during the construction of the airport terminal, which opened on September 21, 1980, but it was not connected to the rest of the system until the South Line reached the station in 1988.
