Kansai Airports is pleased to announce that new retail tenants have been confirmed for the International Departures Area in Terminal 1 as part of the Phase 4 renovation project.
The T1 Renovation has been carried out in stages since 2021 with the basic concepts of “expanding international flight capacity,” “enhancing airside areas,” and “improving passenger experience” to redesign Terminal 1. With the completion of the main functions in March 2025, prior to the opening of the Osaka/Kansai Expo, Kansai International Airport has been transformed into a more comfortable and convenient airport and is ready to meet the expected future growth in aviation traffic.
In Phase4, the final phase, the international departure area that began operation in December 2023 will be further expanded, and a total of 23 new stores will be opened, offering a wide variety of stores, including luxury brands, stores that are new to domestic airports, and stores that are unique to Japan and Kansai.
The newly renovated area is scheduled to open in the summer of 2026, completing the entire process.
The Kansai Airports Group will continue to collaborate with stakeholders to create new travel experiences as a gateway to the Kansai region, welcoming domestic and international passengers.
