History
Building work of this station began in 2012.[1] As part of the construction the old pedestrian bridge linking the airport and the opposing Golden Crown China Hotel was demolished in 2014,[2] while the station was completed in 2015. A new bridge was built in 2016 that connects the two places via the station.[3]
Due to ongoing work at Taipa line train depot, the opening of the station was delayed until 10 December 2019 along with the whole Taipa line.[4]
