Temporary Suspension of Airport Railroad (AREX) Express Train for 3 Months

AREX All-stop Train between Seoul Station and Incheon Airport Station T2 operates normally.

Compared to last year, the number of passengers of AREX Express Train decreased by 95.4%... 3 months operation suspension

AREX Express Train will be temporarily suspended for three months from April 1 to June 30, 2020.

Airport Railroad operates Express Train that is non-stop from Seoul Station to Incheon International Airport Station T1 & T2 and All-stop Train that stops at a total of 14 stations.

Due to the spread of COVID-19, the number of passengers taking Express train decreased about 95.4% from 5,402 daily passengers in 2019 to 248 daily passengers in March 2020. On March 30, there were only 182 passengers which is recorded to be the lowest number of passengers since the launched of Airport Railroad train to Seoul Station on December 29, 2010. In addition, the number of passengers using the City Airport Terminal in Seoul Station has fallen to a single digit since March 17, 2020.

Therefore, the operation of AREX Express Train (26 round trip daily) will be suspended, while AREX All-stop train still operates normally so it would not cause any inconvenience for people who take AREX to go to work and return home.

Due to the suspension of AREX Express Train, the City Airport Terminal service in Seoul Station will also be temporarily suspended.

"We will focus our manpower and resources on the disinfection work on All-Stop train and work harder to improve the information for customer," said the Airport Railroad personnel.

Currently, all Airport Railroad trains are being disinfected and sanitized thoroughly in the entire train once a day and several times when the train returns at Seoul Station.

The operation of AREX Express Train may resume/be adjusted depending on the COVID-19 situation.

The Fastest Way to the Airport, AREX Express Train

Hello! It’s AREX. :) Today, I will introduce the smart way to go from Seoul Station all the way to Incheon International Airport: the “Express Train!” What is the Express Train? There are a total of two AREX trains running currently. The first one stops at all stations along the way, while the second train, the Express Train, is non-stop. Travel Light and Comfortably The Express Train, which operates at 30 minute intervals, has spaces which allow you to carry on large suitcases as well as a cabin crew to help you enjoy your travels even more. Kids’ Car for the Little Ones This accompany car is only for children. This space was made for and allows both regular riders and families of small children to have a nice trip.  AREX’s own characters “Nareu” and “Spee” are in the interior of the car allowing for children to feel a sense of familiarity in the space.  The characters in the background also make this a great space to take a picture and make nice memories. Buying an Express Train Ticket The express train platform is separated from the regular train platform. So, in order to use it instead of using your normal transportation card you must purchase a boarding pass separately. Express Train Combined Ticket   The Express Train Combined Ticket was introduced for those who would like to travel from Incheon International Airport to stops other than Seoul Station. It’s a ticket that combines your Express Train ticket with a regular subway ticket. The Express Train Combined Ticket is a one time use ticket that includes a 500won deposit which can be collected at whichever station you get off at. Have a comfortable trip by traveling the smart way and the Express Train from Seoul Station to Incheon International Airport~ Get more details about AREX from the AREX homepage.  (https://www.arex.or.kr) Great travels brought to you by AREX.
