Airport train between Kualanamu Airport and Medan

Kualanamu railway station is directly connected to the passenger terminal. The airport train connects with Medan Station, providing a rail option for the journey into the city. Check the current departure information before choosing a service, and plan the final part of the trip from Medan Station to the address you need to reach.

For a departure from Kualanamu, work backwards from the airline's check-in and baggage deadlines when choosing the train connection. Keep the issued booking available and allow for the passenger formalities after reaching the airport station. A station connected to the terminal makes the rail link part of the airport journey, but it does not remove the check-in and boarding requirements.
