The 3400 series often run on Keisei Main Line services, as well as through services onto the Toei Asakusa Line, Keikyu Main Line, Keikyu Airport Line, and Hokuso Line.[2] The trains do not typically run on the Narita Sky Access Line.[3]
As of 1 April 2016[update], the fleet consists of five eight-car sets, formed as shown below, with six motored cars.[4]

The 3400 series trains entered service in 1993, and were built using the underframes and control equipment from the original AE series Skyliner Limited Express EMUs and steel bodies based on the (stainless steel bodied) 3700 series EMUs.[1] Construction continued until 1995.[5]
Following the introduction of new 3100 series EMUs for use on Narita Sky Access Line services, Keisei began relegating its 3050 series fleet to mainline operations, thus resulting in the 3400 series fleet being withdrawn from 2020.[6][5] As of September 2023,[update] one 3400 series set remains in operation.[5]
