Korea-Japan Airport Railroad, Direct Train and Skyliner Combined Ticket Sales

The direct train and Skyliner, the airport railways of both Korea and Japan, will be available with a single ticket. Airport Railroad Co. announced on the 31st that, together with Japan's Keisei Electric Railway, it will start selling the 'Direct Train-Skyliner Combined Ticket' from August 4.

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 costs approximately 26,000 KRW (2,910 JPY) for a one-way adult fare and is the most affordable product that allows use of both countries' airport railways. The price varies depending on the exchange rate of the Japanese yen.

This product can be purchased online through WAUG and the travel agency Norangpungseon, and with the reservation number received upon purchase, tickets can be reserved via the Direct Train online reservation system. In Japan, passengers can board the Skyliner using the issued QR code.

Airport Railroad Co. began a marketing agreement with Japan's Keisei Electric Railway in 2014 and signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for joint development in 2018, conducting various partnership projects in multiple areas.

Im Heon-jo, Head of Management at Airport Railroad Co., said, "We have launched a meaningful product connecting the two countries with a single ticket to revitalize the travel market, which has been stagnant since COVID-19," adding, "In the future, we will build a collaborative network with overseas airport railway operators in Taiwan, Thailand, and other countries to expand transportation services for travelers."
