Adisumarmo Airport Rail Link (Indonesian: Kereta api Bandara Internasional Adisumarmo) is an airport rail link service in Central Java, Indonesia. The service was built to cut travel time from Caruban and Madiun -Surakarta city center to Adisumarmo International Airport. It is operated by Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) because its subsidiary KAI Bandara doesn't have stakes owned by Angkasa Pura I.

The Adisumarmo ARS is the fourth airport rail link in Indonesia connecting passengers between the city centre and airport after Kualanamu ARS, Soekarno–Hatta ARS and Minangkabau ARS.^[3] The train line between Adisoemarmo International Airport station and Solo Balapan opened on 29 December 2019.^[4] The trains are manufactured by INKA.^[5][6]
