Commuters of the Delhi Airport Metro Express can expect service as usual from Monday morning. Delhi Metro is gearing up to take over operations of the 22.7 km-long airport link from midnight on Sunday. “DMRC is going to take over the operations of the Airport Express Link from midnight. Services on the line will commence as usual at 5.15 am on Monday under the DMRC’s supervision,” said Anuj Dayal, DMRC spokesman.
Reliance Infra owned Delhi Airport Metro Express Private Limited (DAMEPL) had written a letter to DMRC on June 27 expressing its inability to continue operations of the Airport Express link. On June 28, DMRC rejected the notice given by Reliance Infra, and termed it as violation of the concessionaire agreement and the ongoing arbitration proceedings.
DMRC has created an operations and maintenance team of 100 officials to manage the airport link. A seven member strong core committee of senior officials has also been formed to handle extreme emergency situations, Dayal said. The metro line was shut down last July after problems arose due to defects in the civil structure, which were later rectified. Operations were resumed in January this year. Since then it has recorded an average ridership of 11,000.
