Keikyu and Keisei to Jointly Study Enhanced Airport Access in Japan

Keihin Electric Express Railway (Keikyu) and Keisei Electric Railway (Keisei), both in Japan, have agreed to jointly study further enhancements to airport access.

Aiming to introduce a next-generation operation system, they will study and consider measures such as standardizing ground-side equipment and rolling stock. Keikyu will also explore standardization with Keisei’s new limited express trains requiring an extra fare, which Keisei plans to put into service starting in fiscal year 2028.

In May, Keisei Electric Railway had announced that it could introduce a new limited express with an extra fare between Oshiage and Narita Airport as early as fiscal year 2028, strengthening transport capacity between the airport and central Tokyo.

To promote mutual customer traffic to tourist destinations along their lines, they also plan to hold events and sell special promotional tickets. The two companies will enhance their shareholder benefit programs and launch an exchange program between shareholder complimentary ride tickets and special promotional tickets.
