Why do I pay extra to use Sydney Airport Link

   Airport Link, and its four train stations, were built and are funded by private investment.
   
   ALC is the private company which operates and manages these stations, with the help of more than 70 employees and 50 contracted maintenance, security and cleaning staff. The company also maintains and staffs a 24 hour, 365-days-a-year operations room, is open every day of the year and assists with the movement of more than 80,000 trains each year on the Airport Line.
   
   In this way, ALC participates in the provision of Public Transport for Sydney, but does so entirely as a private company, without taxpayer funding. The company is not subsidised by government or the taxpayer.
   
   In order to fund the infrastructure and conduct the company’s operational activities, ALC charges a Gate Pass. The Gate Pass is an amount payable in addition to the standard rail ticket. These Gate Pass charges are detailed in the price page of this website.
   
   We trust you enjoy your Airport Link experience. Airport Link delivers you from Sydney Airport into the Sydney Central Business District (and beyond) with reliability and speed.
   
   When travelling on the Airport Link you also contribute to reducing pollution and traffic congestion within Sydney. And please take a moment to consider that you are also travelling through the longest twin-track
