KLIA Ekspres is a non-stop airport rail link service in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, linking Kuala Lumpur Sentral (KL Sentral) with Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). The service is one of the two services on the Express Rail Link (ERL), sharing the same tracks with KLIA Transit which stops at all stations along the line. The service is run by Express Rail Link Sdn. Bhd. which began its operations on 14 April 2002.
The line is one of the components of the Klang Valley Integrated Transit System.
KLIA Ekspres serves three stations. KLIA Ekspres runs non-stop from KL Sentral to KLIA, skipping the three KLIA Transit stops in between.
At KL Sentral, the two side platforms of the ERL are accessed from different parts of the station. The KLIA Ekspres platform is accessed from the KL City Air Terminal (KL CAT) while the KLIA Transit platform is accessed from the main Transit Concourse at Level 1. At KLIA and klia2, both KLIA Ekspres and KLIA Transit use the same island platform, with each service serving only one side of the platform.
A 2.14 km extension to the klia2 terminal was completed in 2013. Commercial service began on 1 May 2014, when klia2 opened. Inter-terminal travel time from KLIA Main Terminal to the new terminal is 3 minutes with a fare of RM2.

Two ERL trains collided at Kuala Lumpur Sentral, Of the trains involved one of them was about to depart at 9:45 pm for Kuala Lumpur International Airport while the other train, which was empty, rammed into its rear.
The KLIA Ekspres service officially began operations on 14 April 2002 connecting Kuala Lumpur with the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
