The metro station was constructed to connect Delhi Metro with Aerocity, a part of Indira Gandhi International Airport, ultimately housing 16 luxury hotels and commercial spaces.

It was conceived and approved as a part of the Delhi Airport master plan.

The hospitality district of Aerocity offers quick access to the airport, besides being centrally located between the business areas of Delhi and Gurgaon.

The station is within walking distance to Mahipalpur, New Delhi, situated at Delhi–Gurgaon border.

Delhi Aerocity metro station is the main interconnectivity hub for the IGI on Yellow Line (operational) and Golden Line (expected completion by March 2026),[2] with the existing NH48 and existing Dwarka Expressway next to it.
