Airport Railroad Adds Four Daily Express Train Services... 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Starting October 23, Airport Railroad will increase the number of daily express train services between Incheon International Airport and Seoul Station from 52 to 56, adding four services.

Four additional services will run between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., with two in each direction. During this time, the average interval between trains will be shortened by about four minutes, from 39 to 35 minutes.

The average seat occupancy rate during these hours was 85.3% in 2026. In particular, the average seat occupancy rate for trains departing between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. reached 98.7% in September, showing concentrated demand.

Airport Railroad expects the additional services to provide 960 more seats per day, expanding ticket availability during peak-demand hours and making travel between Incheon International Airport and central Seoul more convenient.

The additional express train services are also linked to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's policy to improve transportation connections between Incheon International Airport and regional destinations. The ministry is strengthening connections between airports, railways, and other modes of transportation, as well as improving convenience for travelers, to make it easier for foreign tourists to visit regions outside the capital and to support regional tourism and economic growth.

The Airport Railroad express train, which provides a direct connection between Incheon International Airport and Seoul Station, is a popular airport transportation option among foreign tourists. They accounted for 79.8% of all passengers last year.

Meanwhile, the timetable for regular trains will be partially adjusted to accommodate the expanded express train service. The revised timetable is available in notices at Airport Railroad stations and on its official website.

"By increasing the number of seats available during peak-demand hours, we will make travel more convenient for passengers using Incheon International Airport and for foreign visitors. We will also work to improve transportation connections between regions," said Airport Railroad President Park Daesu.
