I'm planning to put a dedicated page on one of IARO's web-sites to guide people to the 17 Airport Expresses in the world.

The plan is that the page will have links to the ticketing pages of each of those railways - to on-line ticket purchase, if that's available, or to the most relevant page if not.

I believe that people using an Airport Express at the start of their journey are likely to be interested in using one at the end, if it's available, and this page will help. After all, an Airport Express will typically cost half as much and take half as long as a taxi!

Another post on this blog has discussed the definition of an Airport Express: feedback on that is welcome.

You might argue that IARO ought to be publicising more than just Airport Expresses - some international, national, regional and suburban railways serve airports and some of them are members of IARO.

The answer, of course, is the web-site www.airportrailwaysoftheworld.com. This lists all airports with a rail connection and tells you what kind of connection they have (express, regional, light rail). It also gives (where known) the web-site, email address and phone number of airport and rail operators.

I'll let you know through this blog how the Airport Express page idea progresses!

Bahrain International Airport intends to provide a high speed rail link into its planned "Cargo Oasis" - its greatly expanded cargo area.

The airport is already a hub for DHL, and wishes to attract more cargo traffic.

DHL is already involved in a potential high speed rail link for cargo at its European hub, Leipzig-Halle Airport.

More information about both projects would be appreciated.
