A free LAX Shuttle bus connects this station to the airport. However, when the K Line fully opens in 2024, the shuttle will be replaced by the LAX Automated People Mover which will connect with LAX/Metro Transit Center station. This station will then be renamed Aviation/Imperial station.
The train platform, currently suitable for two-car trains, is planned to be lengthened by 2028 to accommodate longer three-car trains.
