Japan’s $20B Kansai Airport in Osaka sinking at an alarming rate When Japan’s Kansai International Airport (KIX) opened in 1994, it was considered an engineering marvel. It is one of the world’s floating airports and cost roughly $20 billion to construct. 30 years on, it remains an important hub in Japan. In 2022, Statista named KIX the third busiest airport in the country, after Narita International Airport (NRT) and Tokyo Haneda Airport (HND). The airport serves as a hub for major airlines including All Nippon Airways, Japan Airlines, Nippon Cargo Airlines and even Japan’s low-cost airline, Peach. However, some experts believe that KIX airport may be completely submerged by 2056. To get to the bottom of this, it’s necessary to know the airport’s background. #AviationTalk #aviationnews #avgeek #aviation #aviationindustry #aviationdaily #japan #osakaairport #kansai

This is Haneda Airport, located in Ōta, Tokyo, Japan, It is Japan's most busiest airport and the fourth-busiest airport in the world with about 764 departures daily. Tokyo Haneda Airport features three terminals: Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 for domestic flights, and the International Terminal (Terminal 3) for international destinations. Tokyo Haneda Airport has four runways: two parallel runways and two crosswind runways. The parallel runways, 16R/34L and 16L/34R, handle the majority of the airport's traffic. They are equipped to accommodate both domestic and international flights. The crosswind runways, 04/22 and 05/23, are primarily used during periods of strong crosswinds, ensuring safe takeoffs and landings in adverse weather conditions. These runway configurations allow for efficient operations and contribute to Haneda's reputation as one of the world's busiest and most punctual airports.

Why Japan Airlines And ANA Are Moving Flights From Narita To Haneda Airport As the aviation scene is booming post-pandemic, international travel for Japan's two largest carriers, All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines, seemingly aims to dedicate all long-haul international operations to departing and arriving from the Tokyo Haneda Airport (HND). Haneda is much closer to the center of Tokyo than Narita (seven miles vs. 44). Narita, however, won't go without, with both airlines looking at medium-haul strategies and new airline brands at Japan's largest airport.

An Airport built on water in Japan is sinking into the sea. Kansai International Airport is an enormous airport, that occupies two artificial islands in Osaka Bay. It serves as a hub for All Nippon Airways, Japan Airlines, and Nippon Cargo Airlines. But the £15billion-airport is sinking quickly and moving further and further away from the city. Japan's Kansai International Airport was touted to be the most unique airport in the world when it was built 30 years ago, but it is sinking at an alarming rate. Experts have expressed apprehension that it may sink one day. The airport that serves Japan's second largest metropolitan city Osaka, has already sunk more than 38ft. Some engineers have predicted that sections of the two artificial islands may sink another 13ft, to sea level, by 2056.

STARLUX Airlines (JX) recently announced the establishment of a new base at RMQ starting in March 2024. The airline intends to introduce 8x weekly flights between Taichung and Macau, along with 3x weekly services to Takamatsu and Da Nang, all operated using the Airbus A321neo aircraft. To support the new routes, I estimate that JX will need at least one frame to be based at RMQ. This should have minimal impact on JX's Taoyuan International Airport ops as their A321neo fleet currently operates at a surprisingly low utilization rate, with each aircraft averaging three flights per day, totaling 7.5 hours of flight time. The low utilization is primarily due to the absence of red-eye services, which result in the entire fleet being grounded overnight after the last departure from TPE at 5:45 pm and the last arrival from NRT at 11:20 pm. However, questions arise regarding JX's strategic approach to its RMQ base. Notably, two of the three planned routes will overlap with existing low-cost carriers (LCCs) - Tigerair Taiwan to MFM and VietJet Air to DAD. This raises concerns about the Taichung market's capacity to accommodate multiple airlines simultaneously and the potential impact on competition dynamics.
