The 281 series is a DC electric multiple unit operated by JR West. It was introduced on September 4, 1994 for passengers travelling to/from Kansai International Airport. Provisions are made for luggage racks and dedicated luggage room.
Built by Kinki Sharyo and Kawasaki Heavy Industries, the cars now currently serve the "Haruka" limited express service via the Kansai Airport Line in 3 or 6 cars formation.
