The Skyliner (スカイライナー sukairainā?) is a limited-express airport train service between Tokyo and Narita Airport in Japan. It is operated by Keisei Electric Railway and runs on the Narita Sky Access route. This article also covers the Morningliner (モーニングライナー mōningurainā?) and Eveningliner (イブニングライナー ibuningurainā?) services.
The Skyliner service operates between Keisei Ueno Station and Narita Airport Terminal 1 Station, with stops at Nippori Station and Narita Airport Terminal 2·3 Station.
The one-way ride between Nippori and Narita Airport Terminal 2·3 takes about 36 minutes and costs ¥2,470.
The main competitor for the Skyliner is JR East's Narita Express.
The Skyliner's predecessor was the Kaiungō express service, which began operation non-stop from Keisei Ueno to Keisei Narita on May 1, 1952, 26 years before the opening of Narita Airport. Seat reservations were mandatory.
