Aviation/96th Street is an under-construction infill elevated light rail station hub in the Los Angeles County Metro Rail system, located near the intersection of Aviation and 96th Street in the Westchester district of Los Angeles. The station was designed as a station for the Crenshaw/LAX Line[2] and the new terminal station of the Green Line.[3] In 2014, LAX and LA Metro approved a plan for a people mover to the LAX airport, which will connect to Metro at this station.
Plans for both the new airport station and the Aviation/Century station continue. The Century railroad bridge was demolished on July 25, 2014. The Aviation/96th Street station is currently under construction and slated to open in 2021.

Should LAWA move the people mover alignment back to 98th Street — as was previously studied — Metro would seek to make the Aviation/Century station as the primary connection point to the people mover.
