About Ibaraki Airport
Japan's aviation demand is growing dramatically and it is concentrated in the Tokyo metropolitan area. Ibaraki Airport, holding high potential for accommodating many of these demands, will serve to enhance the airport system of the metropolitan area, and to help meet the increasing aviation demand in the area as the third airport in Greater Tokyo. Ibaraki Airport will be a convenient option for business or for pleasure.
Tokyo's Secondary Airport
Both Narita and Haneda, the two airports of the Tokyo metropolitan area, are close to reaching their possible air traffic capacity.
Ibaraki airport is expected to be used as a secondary airport for Tokyo, having the potential to supplement both Narita and Haneda.
Its flexibility will allow the airport to accommodate various demands, from domestic and international flights, to charter flights, and business jet service.
An Open Gateway
Foreign airlines wanting to create new service to the Tokyo airports (Narita, Haneda) cannot decide on their own accord to make stops in Tokyo.
Bilateral talks over a long period are necessary in order to come to a mutual agreement.
However, at Ibaraki airport, unlike Narita and Haneda, airlines can easily create their desired service without having to go through the lengthy negotiation process.
*Airlines must comply with procedures for safety vertification, CIQ (Customs, Immigration, Quarantine), and coordination with the Self-Defense Force.
An economy-conscious airport
The lowest landing fees in the Tokyo metropolitan area
*These fees are based on estimates made by the prefecture of Ibaraki as of jan. 2009. Fees may vary depending on maximum take-off weight, noise level, etc.
The realization of a low-cost passenger terminal building.
1.Realization of self-propelled off-lock.
The self-propelled off-block system for B737/A320-sized or smaller aircraft used at Ibaraki airport, a style that employs a passenger step, has almost never been used at a Japanese international airport.
This was designed to reduce turnaround time and eliminate unnecessary boarding-bridge fees and handing charges.
2.Compact,efficient terminal building
The Ibaraki Airport passenger terminal building was designed to have one combined arrival/departure lobby where the airline staff can streamline, efficiently serving their customers.
This will also create an environment where the passengers and other visitors can comfortably move about the terminal.
