Ibaraki Airport is a new international airport serving the Greater Tokyo metropolitan area, located 80 km northeast of central Tokyo. The airport is the smallest of three commercial airports serving the region. It was, until Mar-2010, a military air base. Ibaraki Airport is one of Japan's first low-cost airports, marketing itself as an alternative to high-cost Narita and Haneda. Ibaraki has substantially cheaper airport charges than competing Tokyo airports, has no air bridges and has a terminal designed for quick turnaround times and passenger throughput. Ibaraki currently handles charter service to the USA (Guam), the Philippines, China and Taiwan. Asiana Airlines operates scheduled service to Seoul Incheon.

Japan considers privatisation of 94 airports

23-Jan-12 11:31 AM

Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) surprised industry observers after reports said it was considering plans to enable private companies to acquire 30 to 50-year management rights for 27 airports operated by the Central Government. The degree of surprise increased further when an additional 67 airports owned by local governments were thrown into the pot, to a total of 94, only omitting the ‘big four’.

Japan’s MLIT plans to contract out airport management

4-Aug-11 10:02 AM

Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT), in a draft report, stated the rationalisation and reform of management of the 27 government-managed airports in Japan is to be made by FY2020. As part of this, during the phase one period, or the five years from FY2014, it is planned to contract out management of as many airports as possible.

Natural and man-made events cloud airport investment

23-Mar-11 2:04 PM

From volcanic eruptions and earthquakes to blizzards and floods, the world has been unsettled by a wave of natural disasters in the past year. Coupled with "man-made" events, such as the political unrest in the Middle East and North Africa, at what point will private operators decide that airport investment under such circumstances is not worth the risk?

Chinese airline consolidation: Second tier airlines in the sights of the 'Big Four'

29-Oct-10 4:57 PM

China’s fragmented airline industry is undergoing a shakeup. Merger and acquisition activity is intense – probably more so than any other aviation market in the world. In the space of a few short years, the majority of China’s second tier airlines have, at least partially, become owned or controlled by one of the "Big Three" carriers and/or HNA Group, as consolidation accelerates in China. In this report, CAPA reviews what’s fuelling the feeding frenzy and who the targets are.

Kansai and Osaka airports to be conjoined under private control?

11-May-10 5:21 PM

Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport & Tourism (MLITT) Minister, Seiji Maehara, has proposed to the Governor of Osaka a plan to transform Osaka Airport into a stock company and integrate it with the offshore Kansai International Airport under joint management. The justification is that the Kansai region's population is too small to justify three airports, and that Osaka Airport's operations inhibit the realisation of Kansai Airport's potential. Mr Maehara stated the rights to operate the two airports in the Osaka region will be sold to the private sector to help trim Kansai airport’s JPY1.3 trillion debts, according to the plan. The merger and privatisation plan indicates the government's willingness to streamline management of the nation's 98 airports.
