AirLink (originally called AirExpress) operates rail services from Stepford Central and Leighton to Stepford Airport, linking Berrily and Morganstown along the way. A full journey on the main line, which runs from Stepford Central to Stepford Airport Central, takes about eight minutes non-stop. This operator originally bore a  yellow (#EFC931)  colour scheme, but it later changed to an  orange (#E27A14)  colour scheme after the first rebranding in Version 1.3.1.

On 27 August 2022, AirLink introduced the AirLink Shuttle branding on the Class 345. This branding can currently only be found on the aforementioned train and there is only one route using this branding, that route being the Class 345-exclusive R060 (Terminals Shuttle).

The route is classified as semi-high-speed rail, but it is also considered (and is) an airport rail link. A majority of the trains on this route are capable of a maximum speed of 100 miles per hour, with the exception of the Class 397 and the Class 802, which can achieve 125 miles per hour and the Class 387, which can achieve 110 miles per hour. Trains commonly run at top speed on the section of the line between Stepford Airport and Stepford City or Leighton. After reaching Stepford Airport Central, some of the trains will terminate there. The other services continue through the station and move up to the airport terminals. (Terminal 1, Terminal 2 and Terminal 3).
