Kansai Airports is pleased to announce that Kansai International Airport’s Terminal 2 (Domestic) will reopen on April 1, 2026, following its renovation.
Terminal 2 (Domestic), which first opened in 2012, is currently used for domestic flights operated by Peach Aviation Limited. The renovation has been underway since August 2025, and the terminal will reopen in a renewed form on April 1, 2026, in response to continued growth in air traffic.
This renovation introduces self-baggage drop machines and expands the security checkpoints with three 20-meter smart lanes, enabling faster and more stress-free boarding procedures. The expanded boarding lounge will feature a new food court with four outlets. In addition, the existing souvenir shop will reopen after refurbishment, making the area more open and spacious.
With a diverse range of stores conveniently available before departure, the renovated terminal will offer passengers a more enjoyable and comfortable way to spend their time prior to boarding.
Kansai Airports Group will continue to work with stakeholders to create a new travel experience as a gateway to the Kansai region.
This is a conceptual rendering, and the details will be developed in the design process.
