Minangkabau Express (Indonesian: KA Minangkabau Ekspres) is an airport rail link service in West Sumatra, Indonesia. This line was built to cut travel time from Padang city centre to the Minangkabau International Airport, as roads connecting the airport and the city center are frequently affected by traffic congestion.

The Minangkabau Express is the third airport rail link in Indonesia after Kualanamu ARS and Soekarno–Hatta ARS. It was inaugurated by President Joko Widodo on 21 May 2018.[1]

Background

The 23-km link was established using existing and new rail tracks. An existing line between Duku railway station and Padang was upgraded. This was then connected to a new 3.9 km trackage between Duku and the airport. All land acquisitions were done in March 2017.[2][3]

The service is provided by PT Kereta Api Indonesia. The rolling stock was manufactured by INKA.
