State Railway of Thailand to Sign Airport Rail Link Extension MOU
The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) is set to sign a four-month extension agreement with Asia Era One to continue operating the Airport Rail Link.
According to a report by Matichon Online, the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) is scheduled to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Asia Era One on September 28, 2026. This agreement will extend the company's current operation of the Airport Rail Link for an additional four months.
This transition period serves as a bridge before the SRT’s subsidiary, SRT Electric Train (SRTET), officially takes over the management and operation of the rail service in February 2027. For residents and travelers who rely on the Airport Rail Link for transit between Bangkok’s city center and Suvarnabhumi Airport, this development ensures continuity of service during the upcoming management handover.
While the signing of the MOU is expected to finalize the operational timeline for the remainder of the year, details regarding potential service adjustments or long-term operational strategies under the future management of SRTET remain to be confirmed. Passengers are advised to monitor official announcements from the SRT regarding any changes to schedules or ticketing procedures as the February 2027 transition date approaches.
