Template:LineAirLink serves fast services to Stepford Airport Central, Airport Terminal 2 and Airport Terminal 3 via Berrily & Morganstown. It currently has 5 routes, 2 direct, the 3 others with a flipped stopping pattern.
There's a chance that AirLink resembles to the real life Heathrow Express line in London, UK that goes from London Paddington to (of course) Heathrow Airport.
AirLink serves as the quick airport rail link between Stepford City and Stepford Airport, delivering passengers to the airport in under 15 minutes.
In the near future, AirLink may operate services to Leighton Stepford Road as there is disused lines between Morganstown and Leighton Stepford Road. **THIS IS UNOFFICIAL**
History of AirLink
2017
AirLink was first proposed back in August 2017, where Charlie_RBX, the Managing Director and founder of SCR, stated in the #announcements channel that a new line was coming. It was going to be called AirExpress, and the first train that was going to run on it was the Class 345 Aventra. Many people were excited for the new line. Then in September, multiple Class 345 trains started testing on the AirLink mainline. This was a sign that AirLink would be coming soon. People waited until the end of the year, but the new line never came. Another image was posted in #announcements showing two Class 345s at the Stepford Airport Parkway Depot.

2018
In June of 2018, an image was posted by the Innovations Director, BanTech. It showed a picture of the new Stepford Central track layout for signal boards at the ROC. In the picture, it showed that platforms 12, 13, 14, and 15 were going to be used. This caused wild speculation among SCR players, stating that AirLink may be coming in V1.1. Then in December, Charlie_RBX released an advent calendar with each day as a sneak peek for 1.1. On Day 22, it finally happened. In a surprise announcement, they said that a new line, AirLink, was going to be released, with classes 185 and 802s running on the line. It is unknown why the Class 345 was never released.
