Well they already have integrated delhi metro feeder busses with rest of the metro. you only buy one ticket at the feeder bus and it works with metro as well.

Since delhi airport is very expensive to rent a kiosk at , delhi metro will offer office space at cheaper rate to the airlines and all you will have to do is show up with your luggage and you can check in your stuff and get your boarding pass at the station. they have special coaches to carry your luggage in the train. In the train they also have moniters which show the real time status of flights.

here is a luggage coach which is supposedly automated to load and unload the luggage.

PS. title of this thread is misleading. Delhi metro is operational since 2005 i think , its the airport express which has just opened

**Firstly, yes it is an error on my part…i was so excited that i mentioned Metro Link…and thanx for the luggage van…its amazingly cheap @ Rs. 100] to be taken to and from the airport to ur destination…i love the integration. i wish we had a FREE transfer to Allahad in First AC lol

just kidding…rail fares in india is already so low…did u know that it costs only Rs. 2100 [Canadian $45] from Delhi to Allahabad [640 kms] in First AC.

P.S: do u have any info on Super AC class that Ms. Mamta Banerjee announced in her 2011 Railway Budget? i wunder what that class of service wud look like and what extras wud be thrown in :)**
