Line 14 (Onyx) (also called the Airport Express) was a planned line of the Companhia Paulista de Trens Metropolitanos commuter rail system in São Paulo, Brazil which would connect the São Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport to Luz Station. The line has been planned to have an average interval of six minutes between each station.[1]

On May 9, 2013, the Governor of São Paulo Geraldo Alckmin has cancelled this project, as it seemed no longer viable due to the Federal Government project to establish the Rio–São Paulo high-speed rail. Line 14 would have a special fare estimated in R$ 30.00 (ten times higher than the normal CPTM fare, R$ 3.00 as of 2013). Alternatively the planned Line 13 (Jade) shall be extended up to the airport and keeping the same standard fare prevailing in all CPTM's lines. [2]
