20 YEARS

since the launch of KLIA Ekspres and KLIA Transit services

What we do

The KLIA Ekspres and KLIA Transit services were launched in 2002. The services were extended to KLIA2 when the new terminal for low-cost carriers opened on 2nd May 2014. The non-stop 57-km journey on KLIA Ekspres between KL Sentral and KLIA takes only 28 minutes. Passengers can also take a 3-minute ride between KLIA2 and KLIA. The KLIA Transit service stops at three intermediate stations i.e. Bandar Tasik Selatan, Putrajaya & Cyberjaya and Salak Tinggi, with a total journey time between KL Sentral and KLIA2 of 39 minutes.

ERL has consistently maintained its 99.7% on-time service performance record in the last 19 years. Cruising at a top speed of 160 km/h, KLIA Ekspres is South East Asia’s fastest train.
