Taking advantage of the full-fledged 24 hour-operational capability of KIX, NKIAC has taken strategic steps to facilitate start-up of Japan’s first LCC by building a LCC dedicated terminal.
•Opening of the Terminal 2 (T2) in 2012 is the hallmark of airport-airline collaboration giving birth to the first Japan based LCC; Peach Aviation.
•This development has led LCC to become a social boom in Japan and cast bright light on the society still suffering from aftermath of the Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami.
