The Metro will have an elevated station in front of Tocumen International Airport, near the point where terminals 1 and 2 connect, with an estimated cost of $30 million.

Carmen Carrizo de Pages, vice president of Planning and Strategy at Tocumen International Airport, explained that “…the station will feature elevators and escalators [for people] to take the Metro or to go to T1 or T2″. 

Capital.com.pa reports that “…Originally, Metro Line 2 was to have 16 stations, but with the inclusion of Tocumen Airport station this will increase to 17. The stations will have a length of 100 meters long and 20 to 30 meters wide.”

Metro authorities at Panama explained that now that the connection has been approved, they will assess the needs for train cars and frequencies, as well as other requirements to be defined so that the station can operate in line with the other 16.
