Kansai Int'l Airport Shows Press Renewed Area Opening Tues.

Osaka, Dec. 4 (Jiji Press)--Kansai International Airport's renovated international departure area, opening Tuesday, was unveiled to the press Monday. 

Facility operator Kansai Airports expects the number of airport users to rise thanks to upcoming events such as the 2025 World Exposition in Osaka.
  

At the airport near the western Japan city, the renewed commercial area in Terminal 1 features Japanese themes such as harmony of nature and culture.
 

Duty-free shops are gathered in a single area for customer convenience, creating the largest-scale retail area in an airport in Japan.
 

The departure screening area, previously separated in the north and the south of the terminal, was put together in the center.
 

In the terminal, construction work is also underway for a new security screening area and lounges, with the grand opening due in spring 2025, when all of the major functions are completed.
 

Executive Officer Keiji Takano expressed hopes that users will enjoy their time at the airport.
