Yogyakarta International Airport Rail Link (Indonesian: Kereta api Bandara Internasional Yogyakarta) is an airport rail link service in Special Region of Yogyakarta and Central Java, Indonesia, operated by Kereta Api Indonesia. Launched on 6 May 2019, it had two routes, Yogyakarta–Wojo and Yogyakarta–Wojo–Kebumen,[1] before it changed into the single Yogyakarta–Yogyakarta International Airport route in 2021 after a spur line to the airport was completed.

The service is one of the options to reach Yogyakarta International Airport, which replaced Adisutjipto International Airport as the main airport for Yogyakarta and surrounding areas.[2] The train used to terminate at Wojo Station, because the direct rail connection to the airport had not been completed yet. Wojo Station was considered the closest active station to the airport as the closer Kedundang Station was inactive and under reconstruction. There were Perum DAMRI shuttle buses from Wojo Station to the airport, which was 4 km (2.5 mi) away.[3][4][5]

The rail connection to the Yogyakarta International Airport was to be completed by 2021.[6][7] It was completed on 17 September.[8]
