JAKARTA - The new express train connecting Narita Airport outside Tokyo with the Tokyo Skytree broadcasting tower in more than 30 minutes is scheduled to start operating as early as the 2028 fiscal year, the operator president said.
This plan comes as the Keisei Electric Railway Co. efforts to meet the demand for record-breaking foreign tourists, which is expected to continue to increase in line with the ongoing expansion of Narita Airport, while increasing access to one of Tokyo's most popular tourist attractions.
"This new live service will shorten the 45-minute journey to the nearby Keisei station to the tower in about 10 minutes and allow passengers to reach Tokyo Skytree without having to move to the local route," said President Keisei Electric Railway Takao Amano in an interview with Kyodo News as quoted October 1.
Keisei Electric Railway operates several train operations connecting Tokyo and Narita Airport, a major air transportation hub located outside the nearby capital in Chiba Prefecture.
The airport currently receives around 40 million passengers per year, with an additional 35 million passengers projected after the construction work of a new runway and the expansion of other runways completed by the end of fiscal year 2028.
Amano, who took office in June, said the expected increase meant "we need to make big investments and upgrades to equipment."
The implementation of this new service is projected to cost around 40 billion yen (IDR 4,493,700,000,000), according to the company.
The Keisei Skyiner express service is a major transportation link to Narita Airport, which serves up to 8.4 million passengers per year.
