Express Rail Link Celebrates 4th Anniversary
 
10 April 2006, Kuala Lumpur: Express Rail Link (ERL) celebrated its 4th Anniversary today in its home ground at the KL City Air Terminal (KL CAT). Teaming up with Kumpulan Karangkraft in their search for the new Dewi Remaja, ERL added a touch of glamour by selecting its very own brand ambassador- Duta Remaja ERL 2006 from among the 22 contestants who vied for the Dewi Remaja crown.

Speaking at the celebration, Dr Aminuddin Adnan, CEO said,” You may ask what ERL & Dewi Remaja have in common - We are both young, enthusiastic, vibrant, and ready to surge ahead. Leveraging on Brand Ambassadors does help to elevate the image of a product or service.” He added,” The Brand Ambassador will help us to publicise ERL’s future developments and enhancements to our products and services, such as our free-porter service, our VIP service and the Discover Putrajaya Package.”

With the added value to services at KL CAT and with KLIA Ekspres offering seamless city-to-airport transfers, Dr Aminuddin called on more airlines to take advantage of the convenience of city check-in and airport transfer for their passengers. He continued, “With our check-out facility set to come on stream by early 2008, KL CAT will play an even more significant role in the seamless travel experience.”

He also made mentioned of the company’s milestone in having transported its 10 Millionth passengers.
