'''Line A''' is a planned [[rapid transit]] line of the [[Santiago Metro]], whose construction is planned to begin in 2027 and whose opening is planned in 2032. It is intended to connect the [[Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport]] to [[Santiago Metro Line 7|Line 7]] (which is under construction and planned to be opened in 2028) and to the rest of the metro network. It will add 2 new stations and {{Cvt|6.5|km}} of track to the metro system. It will start at the future Huelén [[interchange station]] in [[Cerro Navia]], connecting it with Line 7, and will end in the northwest, at the future Aeropuerto Internacional Arturo Merino Benítez station of the airport in [[Pudahuel]]. When the line is opened, Santiago will become the first city in South America with a direct connection between its metro network and its international airport. The entire line will be underground. Its distinctive color on the network line map is turquoise. The cost of construction has been set at $365 million [[USD]].<ref name="diariofinanciero">{{cite web |url=https://www.df.cl/empresas/construccion/gobierno-confirma-llegada-del-metro-al-aeropuerto-trayecto-sera |title=Gobierno confirma llegada del Metro al aeropuerto: trayecto será subterráneo, durará siete minutos y estaría operativo en 2032 |last1=Guzmán |first1=Laura |last2=Dulanto |first2=Blanca |website=[[Diario Financiero]] |date=2025-06-01 |access-date=2025-06-08 |language=es}}</ref><ref name="gobcl">{{cite web |url=https://www.gob.cl/noticias/metro-al-aeropuerto-conoce-recorrido-nueva-linea-a/ |title=Metro al aeropuerto: Conoce el recorrido y valor del pasaje que tendrá la nueva Línea A |website=Gobierno de Chile |date=2025-06-02 |access-date=2025-06-08 |language=es}}</ref>
