The Airport Line is one of nine lines of the Lower Mainland's SkyTrain system of rapid transit. Its terminus stations are Waterfront Station in Downtown Vancouver and Airport Station at Vancouver International Airport. The journey to/from Waterfront and Airport Stations is under 20 minutes.

It is the shortest of the six SkyTrain lines at only 14.3 km in length. From Waterfront Station and Burrard Statioj, passing under Downtown Vancouver and False Creek to Granville Island station, continuing under the Granville Street corridor through Vancouver and Marpole until 70th Avenue Station, the Airport Line is a subway (underground rapid transit); immediately after 70th Avenue Station, the Airport Line rises to meet the bridge to Sea Island (the location of Vancouver International Airport), continuing along the centre of the island at ground level until its terminus at Airport Station.
