Location

A free LAX Shuttle bus connects this station to Los Angeles International Airport; however, when the K Line fully opens in 2024, this shuttle will be replaced by the LAX Automated People Mover which will connect with LAX/Metro Transit Center station,[4] and the current Aviation/LAX station will then be renamed Aviation/Imperial station. The original name was Aviation Blvd/I-105 station, but was later simplified and its location close to LAX clarified, with a change to Aviation/LAX.

The train platform, currently suitable for two-car trains, may be lengthened in the future to accommodate three-car trains to enable increased capacity of the line.[5]
