Starting August 4, Airport Railroad Co., Ltd. announced that it will begin selling the "Direct Train-Skyliner Combined Ticket," which allows passengers to use the airport railroads of both countries?the "Direct Train (Korea)" and the "Skyliner (Japan)"?with a single ticket, in collaboration with Japan's Keisei Electric Railway.


The "Skyliner" is an express train operated by Japan's Keisei Electric Railway, connecting Narita International Airport with Nippori Station and Ueno Station in Tokyo.


The "Direct Train-Skyliner Combined Ticket" is a product that allows use of both countries' airport railroads, priced at approximately 26,000 KRW (2,910 JPY) for a one-way adult fare, with the price subject to fluctuation based on the yen exchange rate.


The individual train fares (one-way adult basis) are 9,500 KRW for the Direct Train and 2,570 JPY (about 24,000 KRW) for the Skyliner.


The ticket can be purchased online through "WAUG" and "Norangpungseon Travel Agency," and with the reservation number received upon purchase, passengers can reserve tickets via the Direct Train's online reservation system. In Japan, passengers can board the Skyliner using the issued QR code.



Im Heon-jo, Head of Management at Airport Railroad, stated, "Since starting a marketing agreement with Japan's Keisei Electric Railway in 2014 and signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for joint development in 2018, we have been conducting various partnership projects. With the aim of revitalizing the travel market, which has been sluggish due to COVID-19, both companies have come together to launch this meaningful product connecting the two countries with a single ticket." He added, "In the future, we plan to expand transportation services for travelers by building collaborative networks with overseas airport railroad operators in countries such as Taiwan and Thailand."
