   Airport Link Company (ALC) operates the Green Square, Mascot, Airport Domestic and Airport International Train Stations.
   
   These stations are located in the nine kilometre Airport Line tunnel, which is 23 metres below the earth’s surface. This tunnel links Sydney Airport with Central Station, the Sydney Central Business District and the 300 train stations in Greater Sydney and beyond.
   
   The tunnel and the Sydney Airport Line stations were constructed during 1995 – 2000. The project cost $900 million, created 3,000 jobs and was finally opened in readiness for the Olympics on the 21st May 2000. This completed project was named Airport Link and was the largest single transport infrastructure project associated with the Sydney Olympics.
   
   Following the Olympics, Airport Link’s early years were challenging and patronage did not meet expectations.
   
   But today, ten years later, Airport Link has emerged to become an important part of Sydney’s Public Transport Network. Over 40 million passengers have now passed through the Airport Line Tunnel and used its four stations. The Airport Line is being well patronised and during 2010/11 it is anticipated that nearly 7 million passengers will pass through Green Square, Mascot and the two Airport Stations – being the Airport Line’s most successful year yet.
