Central South Extension

In 2011, it was announced that the Airport Express will be branched out to Central South after Fustersa Station, then return to Airport. The old track would be subsequently demolished.

The constructions began in 2015, 1 year after the construction start of Rigel Line.

It was hit by constructions delay and budget overrun due to governing issues.

The extension has officially been opened on April 2023.
