ERL: KLIA Ekspres and KLIA Transit fares to rise from Jan 1

KLIA Ekspres and KLIA Transit fares in Malaysia are set to increase from January 1, 2027, marking the first adjustment in over a decade, according to Express Rail Link Sdn Bhd (ERL). The standard one-way adult fare for the KLIA Ekspres service between KL Sentral and Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) will rise from RM55 to RM65, driven by escalating operating and maintenance expenses.

ERL's CEO Datin Noormah Mohd Noor emphasized the fare increase aims to uphold service quality and fund enhancements to improve passenger experience, highlighting the commitment to delivering swift and dependable transportation between KL Sentral and KLIA.

Fares for KLIA Ekspres will remain consistent, with an adult return fare of RM118, while children aged six to 15 will pay RM29 one-way and RM53 return. Infants under six will continue to board free of charge. In addition to the fare hike, ERL disclosed plans to collaborate with partners to provide ticket discounts of up to 30 percent starting January 2027, with further information to follow once arrangements are finalized. The fare revisions align with the concession agreement ERL holds with the Malaysian government.
