Airport South is an at-grade metro station on the North-South corridor of the Orange Line of Nagpur Metro in the city of Nagpur, Maharashtra. This serves the Somalwada area of Nagpur. It was opened to the public on 8 March 2019.[1]

The Nagpur Metro Rail Corporation Limited (now the Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited) awarded the contract to construct the station to Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services (ILFS) in July 2016.[2] Construction of the outer structure of the station was completed by November 2017, and interior work began in the same month.[3][4] The station was awarded a platinum rating by the Indian Green Building Council, the highest rating the Council presents for sustainable construction practices that reduce environmental impact.[5]

Mahametro began installing solar panels at the station on 4 June 2018.[6] Construction of the station was completed by January 2019.[7]
