The Airport station is a light rail station on the MAX Red Line in Portland, Oregon, located at Portland International Airport. It is the 4th (and final) stop north on the Airport MAX extension.

Since opening on September 10, 2001, the station has handled 4.3 million people. In 2006, it handled over 1 million customers in a year for the first time. [1]

The station is located just outside the airport's main concourse, including the ticketing/check-in counters and baggage claim. The station's platform is a wedge-shaped island platform with both tracks joining just beyond, as the section nearest the terminal is single-tracked.
