The State Railway of Thailand and the CP group (Asia Era One) have not agreed on a one-year extension to run the Airport Rail Link. The current MOU ends 30 September 2026. Talks resume 7 September, with the State Railway board considering the matter on 10 September. Related items: CP must pay the access fee plus interest by the 18 September interest date, and the 4-1 contract scope (Bang Sue–Don Mueang) is being cut to allow the State Railway to build first. For a small business, this is mainly background: it affects commuter rail operations and the Eastern Economic Corridor project, not day-to-day costs. Watch only if you depend on Airport Rail Link travel or on construction or supply work tied to these projects.
