CP subsidiary Asia Era One has asked the State Railway of Thailand to end its contract to run the Airport Rail Link (ARL) on 30 September 2026, and to terminate the three-airports high-speed rail deal. The Consumer Council wants the Transport Ministry and SRT to publish a backup plan before that date covering who runs the line, how long the handover takes, and how fares and the shared EMV ticket will continue. For a business, the practical impact is on staff and customer commuting from late September: plan for possible disruption, and check whether the rail link is part of your staff travel or delivery routes. No fare change has been announced in the article.
