Mr. Yeow Wei-Wen, ERL’s Vice President of Marketing, Sales and Customer Service said, “KLIA Ekspres is well known among business travelers for its reliability in getting them to or from KLIA in exactly 28 minutes. Increasingly, MICE event organisers are also finding it very convenient to arrange airport transfers for their delegates using the KLIA Ekspres. With proven reliability, fast transfers, and a host of organiser-friendly services, we want to work with organisers to show their delegates that Malaysia is one of the world’s best MICE destinations.”

“Our KLIA Ekspres is a non-stop, direct train service from KLIA to KL Sentral, and for the delegates this is the most convenient and safest travel option to Kuala Lumpur city centre”, he added.

Since its inception, KLIA Ekspres has been actively involved in promoting Malaysia to the world. The MuslimsBIG exhibition is another exciting event for the hassle-free KLIA Ekspres and as the official airport transfer, KLIA Ekspres will be carrying delegates from KLIA to KL Sentral station. The 28-minute train ride is half the road journey time taken to reach Kuala Lumpur city centre.

For delegates who want the added convenience of a door-to-door service, they can opt for the KLIA Ekspres VIP Service. The VIP Service combines the efficiency of the KLIA Ekspres with the personalised service of a chauffeur-driven executive limousine, to provide an exclusive door-to-door transfer between KLIA and city centre hotels. Guests arriving into KLIA are paged at the Baggage Reclaim Hall and escorted all the way onboard the train and to the limousine in KL Sentral.
