Initiatives of the EAAA
Significance of the EAAA
To respond to the rapidly changing aviation market and the growing demand in the East Asia region, the East Asia Airports Alliance (EAAA), comprising major airport operators from Japan, China, and South Korea, was established in December 2001 on Jeju Island, South Korea.
Member airports of the EAAA hold regular meetings at least once a year, with additional meetings convened as necessary. The regular meetings are hosted on a rotating basis by each member airport, and the 12th regular meeting in 2013 was held at Kansai International Airport. Since its establishment, the EAAA has actively engaged in discussions on common issues related to airport operations and management, striving to enhance aviation and passenger services in the East Asia region.
