Both KLIA ERL Stations have been renamed to match the newly renamed Terminals which are now designated KLIA T1 and KLIA T2. It’s taken quite a few years, but helps remove confusion for passengers unfamiliar with the previous designation of KLIA T1, which was formerly KLIA, while KLIA T2 was known as klia2.
KLIA ERL Stations to match
Express Rail Link Sdn Bhd (ERL), provider of the KLIA Ekspres and KLIA Transit services between KL Sentral and the airport, has responded accordingly. They have renamed their KLIA and klia2 stations to KLIA T1 and KLIA T2, following the rebranding of KLIA Terminals recently announced by the Minister of Transport.
ERL also notes that besides aligning with the new names of KLIA Terminal 1 and KLIA Terminal 2, the name change will prevent confusion among air travellers and commuters who use the train services.
The renaming exercise will involve numerous physical, audio and digital assets at all stations, onboard trains and support systems. The work is being carried out in stages and is expected to be completed by July 2023.
ERL is making good progress on its recovery as passenger numbers have grown positively quarter on quarter since the transition to endemic phase of the pandemic, which cut services and ridership significantly. The rail operator expects its total passenger ridership to recover to 85% of its pre-COVID-19 levels by the end of 2023.
