The station is located just in front of the Terminal 3 building connecting the West (Terminal 1, 2) and South (Terminal 4) buildings. Work began in March 2017 with the demolition of a road bridge opposite the drop-off point and the P0 parking extension.[3] Construction of the station started in September 2018 for delivery in 2024.[1]
At the station, connections are available to Île-de-France tramway Line 7 and the Orlyval automated shuttle to Antony station on line RER B.
Line 18 of Grand Paris Express is planned to start running from the station in 2027,[4] serving Massy – Palaiseau, the Saclay plateau and Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines. Thus, it will connect the airport to Paris-Saclay, a research and business cluster to the south of Paris that is currently under construction. In 2030, the line will reach Versailles-Chantiers.
The station will be operated by RATP Dev from its opening in 24 June 2024 until at least 2027.[5]
