I think that a crosstown LRT (or some other rail technology) that would connect the NE and NC lines, with a stop at the airport, and probobly elsewhere inbetween, would justify the cost of building it.
As simply a connection from one of the lines to the airport it probably doesn't make sense.
Assuming the NC line runs up Centre Street (ie not already cutting through Aurora Business Park), I think you have stops at Harvest Hills Blvd, East end of Aurora BP (Future High Speed Rail connection), Perhaps somewhere just east of Deerfoot, Airport Terminal, Jacksonport (Metis Trail area), before joining the NE line at 60th St (one station north of the current terminus at Saddletowne). That sound like a lot of stations, but remember that the line I just described is longer than the whole WLRT extension. (9 vs 8 km.) The only questionable station in that list would be the one between Deerfoot and the terminal.
