airrail NEWS – Your Link to the Air Rail Industry
airrail NEWS, the first of its kind, is a key source of information for all those seeking up-to-date industry news.
The free subscription gives readers a fortnightly email update of the most recent headlines and the website is updated with news as it happens to ensure it becomes an essential resource for keeping up to date with all the developments on rail links to airports.
A dedicated airport railway is quite new concept in the travel; very much a product of the 1990’s. There are only 17 airport expresses in the world, mainly concentrating in Europe and Far East.
Almost 130 airports have other connections with railways be it a metro, light rail or high speed line. A further 300 air-rail links are planned over the next 10 years, which will provide hundreds of jobs, environmentally friendly ways of getting to and from the airports and time savings that can boost the economy, showing that this is a growing industry and one that is in need of an online resource like airrail NEWS.
The airrail NEWS promotes railway connections with airports. We believe that railways, airports and airlines should join forces to create an excellent journey experience. No congestion, minimised carbon emissions, no expensive taxi fees, no slow busses, no more driving – taking a train to the airport you will have a first class experience straight to or from the city.
Hotels, based next to airport express stations in town, are benefiting from the constant flow of business travellers; being in city centre they can offer their guests a perfect location and fast journey to the airport. We’ve seen how land values around an airport express station increased dramatically, with new headquarters of big companies being built along with shops and restaurants to welcome and see-off the travellers.
