  "summary": "From January 1, 2027, the fares for both KLIA Ekspres and KLIA Transit will be revised, marking the first adjustment since 2016. The standard one-way adult fare for the KLIA Ekspres between KL Sentral and Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) will rise from RM55 to RM65, reflecting higher operating and maintenance costs. ERL CEO Datin Noormah Mohd Noor stated that this fare increase is aimed at maintaining high service standards and investing in improvements to enhance passengers' experience. The KLIA Ekspres adult return fare will be RM118, with children aged six to 15 paying RM29 one-way and RM53 return. Children under six will continue to travel for free. ERL is also exploring ticket discounts of up to 30 per cent from January 2027, with final details to be announced. This fare adjustment is compliant with the company's concession agreement with the government.",
